The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
From Emmy winning Executive Producer Robert Halmi, Sr. comes this original prequel to author J.M. Barrie's classic Peter Pan is now shooting in Italy and Ireland with a cast including Rhys Ifans (Pirate Radio, Notting Hill) as James Hook, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins as Smee (who previously played the character in Steven Spielberg's feature Hook), Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) and Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio) as Peter Pan. Neverland is written and directed by Nick Willing (Alice, Tin Man).
Neverland introduces us to a young lad named Peter and his streetwise gang, who are mysteriously transported from turn-of-the-century London into an enchanting parallel world where time stands still and an adventure awaits like nothing you've ever seen before. In Neverland, no one ever ages and lost souls have been plucked out of time. The lost boys are soon caught in a war with the man who will become Captain Hook and change the fate of this mystical land forever.
NEVERLAND will premiere in the UK on SKY MOVIES HD and in the US on Syfy.
Peter Pan has always been one of my favorite stories

Why does everything involving swashbuckling end up looking so much like Pirates of the Caribbean to me. I had the same thought about the new 3 Musketeers movie.
I'm a sucker for Peter Pan stories, and this one looks like it's a mix between that and The Legend of Narnia, plus I'm getting some Fagin vibes from Hook there, which can only be a good thing.
I watched the trailer and I was like "oh that Smee looks very much like Smee!" and then it turned out they got the same guy who played Smee in Hook to play him again in this.

End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us
You know what blew my mind when I found out a year or so ago? Critics fucking hated Hook. I keep thinking "Maybe my fondness for it is just nostalgia" and then I go watch it again and nope, still great.

I honestly can't say I am too excited or impressed by this project.
I never want Captain Hook to have an origin, he simply must be. He is a force and an ideal, not a fencing teacher/inspiring criminal who becomes a pirate captain.
I WILL NOT EXCEPT THIS.

Otherwise I agree, origin stories such as this have never really interested me. It takes some of the mystery and imagination away from it, at least for myself.

I agree with this, but Hook is the best it will ever be.
RU FI O
I love Hook so much. And everytime I watch it it is still excellent.
But I'll watch this one too! I don't know why but I always get suckered into watching/reading revisions and remakes and what have you of Peter Pan.

I'm stoked!
Smee is played by the same actor!
