There’s a LES MISERABLES reunion in the offing on the set of Joe Wright‘s PAN: Today, via press release, Warner Bros. announced Amanda Seyfried will be joining her Les Mis co-star Hugh Jackman in the live-action Peter Pan feature. Presumably, neither will be breaking out into song during the course of the picture.
And if the reunion doesn’t do it for you, well, that picture above should prove it’s simply never bad thing when Amanda Seyfried is around. Seyfried will be tackling the role of “Mary” in the film.
The casting update doesn’t conclude there. The film has also brought aboard Jack Charles (“Mystery Road”) as The Chief/Tiger Lily’s father; Taejoo Na (“The Kick”) as Kwahu; Nonso Anozie (“Son of God,” “Atonement”) as Bishop; Kathy Burke (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) as Mother Barnabas; Kurt Egyiawan (“Skyfall”) as Murray; Lewis MacDougall (UK TV’s “In the Name of the Children”) as Nibs; and newcomer Leni Zieglmeier as Wendy Darling.
The newcomers join Jackman as Blackbeard; Garrett Hedlund (“Inside Llewyn Davis”) as Hook; Oscar® nominee Rooney Mara (“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) as Tiger Lily; Adeel Akhtar (“The Dictator”) as Smee; and newcomer Levi Miller as Peter.
Offering a new take on the origin of the classic characters created by J.M. Barrie, the film follows the story of an orphan who is spirited away to the magical Neverland. There, he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny—to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.
PAN is set for a worldwide release on July 17, 2015.
