Before we knew about the new Disney+ Peter Pan film coming next year, there was another version of the story in the works at Disney told from the perspective of Tinkerbell. The film would be titled ‘Tink’ and star Reese Witherspoon. While we haven’t heard anything about this project since it was first announced, we now have more details!
According to The DisInsider, the project is still alive and could be in the early stages of development. A new production sheet shows that a new writer has been assigned to the film. Maria Melnik, known for her work on both Escape Room films and American Gods, is listed as the writer.

The production sheet also offers character breakdowns and frames the film’s planned plot. From The DisInsider:
“The unofficial synopsis states that after Peter becomes gravely injured, “Tink” (as she’s referred to), makes a deal with the head fairy (named Variel Tarin) to save his life. This results in Peter staying a 9-year-old forever and her losing her voice. The story doesn’t end there though. After Peter meets Wendy, Tink becomes incredibly jealous. However, when Hook kidnaps Peter she and Wendy must team up to save him before it’s too late.”

Reese Witherspoon is still attached as the film’s producer but it isn’t clear if she will still star in the film. No roles have any actors attached yet. The studio is looking for a female between the ages of 30 and 39 for Tink. For Wendy, a 15-26 year-old girl that is “sweet, a teeny bit chubby, and intense”, an ideal candidate for Peter is a boy between the ages of 8-9, and for Captain Hook, the studio is looking for a male between the ages of 20-39.
There is still a possibility this project could be scrapped. With another live-action retelling already in the works, Disney could decide not to move forward with ‘Tink’. However, a new writer being added to the film is promising news!
