In director Francis Lawrence’s (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) upcoming Netflix original feature Slumberland, a young girl by the name of Nemo (played by Marlow Barkley) discovers a magical world of dreams. Having recently lost her father (Kyle Chandler), whose bedtime tales first introduced Nemo to Slumberland, she becomes increasingly preoccupied with this new dreamland when an old friend of her father’s, Flip (Jason Momoa), reveals a secret treasure. The mischievous Flip tells Nemo that this treasure will grant its finder any wish, and with the hopes of reuniting with her late father one last time, Nemo will stop at nothing.
During their interview with Collider’s Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub, Momoa and Barkley share the unique appeal of Slumberland for wider audiences and speak on their experience working alongside director Lawrence to bring his vision to the screen. Momoa also discusses the opportunity of being in a family-friendly film, Barkley shares the most surprising aspect of filmmaking, and they tease Slumberland 2 and 3.
