Pirates, Mermaids, Neverland: Everyone's Favourite Adventure Story Returns With 'Pan' [Trailer + Pictures]

An extraordinary re-telling of a time-honoured fairy story, Peter Pan is set to hit the big screen once again in 'Pan'; a tale of how this young boy who never grows up discovered his remarkable powers in the first place.

Ever wondered how Peter Pan became known as Peter Pan in the first place? 'Pan' reveals his lonely beginnings in an orphanage and how he is desperately searching for his mother having only a letter and a strange metal pendant to remember her by. Soon he finds himself kidnapped by brutal flying pirates led by Blackbeard and taken to Neverland - a world of fairies and mermaids, and the place where he befriends a young James Hook who wasn't always so evil himself.

Since the 1953 Disney animation, 'Peter Pan' has been enthralling cinema audiences all over the world. The live action version was finally released 50 years later, with several spin-offs along the way such as 1991's Oscar nominated 'Hook', 2011 mini-series 'Neverland' and even Academy Award winning J.M. Barrie biopic 'Finding Neverland'.

Golden Globe nominated director Joe Wright ('Anna Karenina', 'Atonement') is at the helm of 'Pan' with his previous production collaborator Paul Webster, and it's screenwriter Jason Fuchs ('Ice Age: Continental Drift') second feature movie. We certainly can't wait for this new rendition of a thrilling adventure that has captivated children (and adults) for decades. Having been in production since 2013, the finished product is now on its way to a cinema near you.
