Michael C. Hall Cast In Pete's Dragon Remake

Dexter's Michael C. Hall will join Robert Redford, Wes Bentley and Bryce Dallas Howard in the remake of the 1977 family musical Pete's Dragon, Variety reports.

Ain't Them Bodies Saints helmer David Lowery will direct from a script he wrote with Toby Halbrooks. The musical elements will likely be removed this time around.

The story is a reinvention of the 1977 film that revolves around Pete and his best friend, a dragon. The movie will be a live-action/CGI hybrid.
