Author Kristin Hannah’s arguably most popular novel comes to the screen later this year, starring two real-life actress sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning as sisters in France, who are torn apart when WWII begins.

Peter Pan & Wendy

Slated for release this year as a live action movie, this is the original fantasy story, from J.M. Barrie’s novel. Let your imagination run free and dive into the pages of this classic this summer.

Daisy Jones & The Six
