Over the weekend, New Line picked up horror project PAN from newbie Ben Magrid. According to Variety it’s a backward take on J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan” with supernatural elements in which the Pan character’s a villain tracked by a police captain named Hook.
Doesn’t sound real genre-y to me, but what the hell. At least if the Peter Pan story has to be told on film once again, it’s good to see the story going in a completely different direction. Maybe in this version Wendy Darling will be a hot bikini model.
More on how it all develops as we get it. I’m especially looking forward to what causes Hook to tick in this go ’round. Loud pacemaker? Hooked up to a bomb? Spit bullets below with your theories.
