January 8, 2015 by Thomas Roach

Wes Bentley (Interstellar) is the latest actor to join the cast of the remake of Disney’s Pete’s Dragon according to The Wrap.

The film is a remake of the 1977 movie which featured live action actors alongside a cartoon dragon. It follows “a young orphan seeks refuge from his abusive adoptive parents with the help of a pet dragon and a couple who live in a lighthouse.”

Pete’s Dragon is due for release in 2016, with a cast that includes Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World), Robert Redford (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Oakes Fegley (This Is Where I Leave You) as Pete.
