Twentieth Century Fox TV and Imagine TV are developing The League of Pan, a fairy tale-themed drama that follows the Lost Boys 10 years after they left Neverland.
Disney has hired screenwriter Jesse Wigutow to adapt Peter and the Starcatchers, the bestselling 2004 children’s novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
Warrior director Gavin O’Connor has been tapped to helm Sony’s Peter Pan project, which star Channing Tatum.
Sky Movies has debuted a new trailer and 14 images for the television prequel to the classic Peter Pan, which envisions Peter as an orphan who, along with his friends, is sent by their mentor Jimmy Hook to steal a magical orb that transports them to another world.
Aaron Eckhart, AnnaSophia Robb and Sean Bean have been cast in the Ben Hibon-directed movie, which transforms the children’s tale into a contemporary crime story.
