NiGHTS (also referred to NiGHTS: the Movie, NiGHTS into Dreams... MOViE and NiGHTS MOViE) is an upcoming 2020 action-adventure fantasy comedy-drama musical live-action/CGI animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on (and is a retelling of) SEGA's Sega Saturn cult classic game, NiGHTS into Dreams..., set to release on July 10, 2020, worldwide.

Synopsis
Claris Sinclair (Grace Rolek) and Elliot Edwards (Tom Holland) are teenagers that live in Twin Seeds, United States, facing struggles with their dreams of being, respectively, a singer and a professional basketball trainer. Everything changes for them when they enter the dream world of Nightopia and meet NiGHTS (Sarah Stiles), a jester creature who pleads for their help in defeating a tyrant, Wizeman the Wicked (Benedict Cumberbatch), and his army of nightmares and, in the process, recovering their Ideyas and desire to pursue their dreams. The trio must team up and set aside differences to save the real world from being consumed by nightmares.

Plot
(In-progress.)

Cast

 * Sarah Stiles as NiGHTS (voice and motion capture): A mysterious, but cheerful, curious, adventurous and friendly dream jester who doesn't remember her origins and doesn't perfectly blends in Nightopia thanks to her odd behavior and immense power, but is nevertheless a heroic figure who vowed to help the children defeat Wizeman after hearing about his arrival. Later, it's revealed she's a formerly crazy Nightmaren who rebelled against Wizeman and changed appearances radically after receiving a shard of an Ideya of Courage and, as a result, was banished to Nightopia with a death threat. She is the main protagonist of the film.
 * Grace Rolekas Claris Sinclair: One of the dreamers NiGHTS gets the aid of to defeat Wizeman. A prodigy girl with a brave and sassy personality, but a stage fright that compromises her dream career of being a singer. She's one of the main deuteragonists of the film.
 * Tom Holland as Elliot Edwards: One of the dreamers NiGHTS gets the aid of to defeat Wizeman. A confident and friendly boy who dreams of being a professional basketball player, but is humiliated by the school's older boys. He's one of the main deuteragonists of the film.
 * Benedict Cumberbatch as Wizeman the Wicked (voice and motion capture): The main antagonist of the film. A ruthless tyrant who plans to absorb the many Ideyas stolen by his Nightmarens through the centuries to gain enough power to shatter the barrier between dreams and reality, to dominate the former and take over the latter.
 * Tom Hiddleston as Reala (voice and motion capture): NiGHTS' intelligent, cruel and menacing rival and equal in power, later revealed to be her brother of sorts thanks for both of them being Nightmarens. By Wizeman's orders, he hinders the hero's path and also tries to goad NiGHTS into a second chance on Wizeman's army. Later, during the final battle, he nearly dies during Wizeman's destruction, only to receive a shard of Claris' Ideya of Wisdom, wiping his memories and granting him a second chance. He is the secondary antagonist of the film.
 * Jim Broadbent as Owl (voice): A owl-creature, who claims he's as old as the first time humanity began to have dreams, and that he helped raise NiGHTS, deviating her from her original Nightmaren nature. He is the tritagonist of the film.
 * Alex Hirsch as Jackle the Mantle (voice and motion capture): A insane second-rank Nightmaren from Wizeman's armada, who aids Reala in invading Claris and Elliot's dreamscapes before being destroyed, allowing NiGHTS and co. to re-enter Nightmare. He is the tertiary antagonist.
 * TBH as Nightopians: Innocent, pacific creatures originated from Nightopia, who love nothing more than fun and playing. They're minor characters of the film.
 * TBH, TBH and TBH as unnamed Nightmarens: Wizeman's armada of creatures he created to destroy Nightopia. The majority of them are minor characters.
