Before anyone hounds me, Peter Pan's story has been put into comic book form many times. Rhys Ifans will be playing a younger Hook, Anna Friel of “Pushing Daisies” will play Captain Elizabeth Bonny and Charlie Rowe will play Peter. Ifans will be in the upcoming Spiderman reboot and Rowe actually played a young Xavier in X-Men: First Class. Also, cool to note that Bob Hoskins is reprising his role as Smee from Hook! Thoughts?
Plot Summary:
Raised on the streets of turn-of-the century London, orphaned Peter (Rowe) and his pals survive by their fearless wits as cunning young pickpockets. Now, they’ve been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook (Ifans) to snatch a priceless—some believe, magical—treasure which transports them to another world. Neverland is a realm of white jungles and legendary mysteries of eternal youth, where unknown friends and enemies snatched from time welcome the new travelers with both excitement and trepidation. These groups include a band of 18th century pirates led by the power-mad Elizabeth Bonny (Friel), and the Native American Kaw tribe led by a Holy Man (Trujillo), which has protected the secret of the tree spirits from Bonny and her gang for ages—and that has meant war. But as the fight to save this strange and beautiful world becomes vital, Hook, Peter, and the ragamuffin lost boys consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up—right here in their new home called Neverland.
