Every piece of classic literature is getting a reboot these days and it was foolish to think Peter Pan would buck the trend. Last week, a pitch went out for a package called “Peter Pan Begins” with Channing Tatum attached to star, screenwriter Billy Ray (Shattered Glass) writing the script, and Joe Roth (Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland) producing. Because audiences must know Peter Pan’s origin story, the pitch ignited a bidding war and Heat Vision reports that Sony Pictures came out on top to the tune of about $1 million.
We still don’t know much about the pitch, which is now titled “Pan” (so there goes the title for my Spanish-language drama about satyrs who bake bread), but HV says that the prequel envisions Peter Pan and Captain Hook as brothers. Let me guess: Hook is jealous that Peter got to stay a kid. Wonderful.

Disrespecting classic cinema. Just as Red Riding Hood is disrespecting and warping a classic children’s tale. Next generation kids are going to watch these pieces of trash instead of the classics; therefore Hollywood is destroying our future. Good job Sony.
I don’t especially consider Grimm to be children’s fairy tales. Little Red Riding Hood was about a girl coming of age through sexual maturity, so that isn’t exactly something for a 5 year old.
Whatever happened to articles reporting the straight facts? I seriously do not want to read your bitching on how you think this is a bad idea. I can’t believe such sites publish such hogwash.
Eh pretty much any film starring Channing Tatum is a bad idea. Buuuuuuurn.
Up next Justin Bieber to play Pinnochio – Kim Kardashian as the blue fairy, and Javier Bardem as Jimmney Crickett Jaden Smith as Gepetto (cause he can play anything, especially an old white dude – and don’t think he can’t)- and Charlie Sheen as the Whale. You heard it hear first.
Gold!
Ain’t this a bitch!
Oh, I guess the top brass at Sony figured they’ll make an Abercrombie and Fitch styled Pan where Tatum will fly around in fucking low risers(showing substantial plumber crack) and a tight tank top.
SMH!
LMAO THis has to be one of the dumber ideas out there. Chan is cute and nice but he can not act his way out of a paperbag. His movies suck…Hollywood is going down the drain LOL I hope it is animated and he can pretend he is a kid without showing us in person he is not….just lame all around LMAO
