As seen in the teaser for “Slumberland,” the film is more of a fairy tale that involves a young girl who enters Slumberland while dreaming and comes across a new friend, Flip (played by Jason Momoa). While in Slumberland, the duo embark on various adventures, hopping from one dream to the next.
Joining Momoa in the cast are Marlow Barkley, Chris O’Dowd, Kyle Chandler, Weruche Opia, India de Beaufort, and Humberly González. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, who is probably best known for directing the last three ‘Hunger Games’ films. He’s actually currently filming the ‘Hunger Games’ prequel, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”

“Slumberland” debuts on Netflix on November 18. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Slumberland takes audiences to a magical new place, a dreamworld where precocious Nemo (Marlow Barkley) and her eccentric companion Flip (Jason Momoa) embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After her father Peter (Kyle Chandler) is unexpectedly lost at sea, young Nemo’s idyllic Pacific Northwest existence is completely upended when she is sent to live in the city with her well-meaning but deeply awkward uncle Phillip (Chris O’Dowd). Her new school and new routine are challenging by day but at night, a secret map to the fantastical world of Slumberland connects Nemo to Flip, a rough-around-the-edges but lovable outlaw who quickly becomes her partner and guide. She and Flip soon find themselves on an incredible journey traversing dreams and fleeing nightmares, where Nemo begins to hope that she will be reunited with her father once again.
