Newcomer, Levi Miller, To Play the Title Role of Peter Pan in Warner Bros.’ film “Pan”

After an extensive search to find an actor between ages 10-12 who can play the role of Peter Pan in upcoming film “Pan”, Warner Bros.’ has finally found a perfect person for its lead role. Levi Miller, a novice young boy, has been selected to play the title role. He has joined a big cast of the film that includes Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard, Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook, and Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily, along with Joe Wright, who is going to direct the film.

Jason Fuchs, who is known for comedy animation film Ice Age: Continental Drift, has been announced to write the script, while Greg Berlanti, Paul Webster and Sarah Schechter are going to serve as the producers.

Evidently intending to look for some comparatively unfamiliar young actor for the main role, Joe has chosen Miller, whose quite short work history regarding acting includes just a few shorts and one episode of short-lived sci-fi TV show “Terra Nova”. If he proves to be a great choice for the main title role, this film can turn out to be a big breakthrough of his acting career.

Joe was searching a new talent who can live up to the role of Pan, going through a wide casting process and various auditions in the U.K. and also receiving open calls. After all the process, he considered Miller who could fit all the aspects related to Pan.

Set during World War II, Pan is a new take on J.M. Barrie’s classic fiction, and revolves around Peter, a juvenile orphan who is abducted by pirates and carried to a mysterious world called Neverland, where he finds out he is actually chosen to assist the inhabitants and save the land from notorious pirate Blackbeard.

But, in this latest version of the story, according to some film plot details, Blackbeard turns out to be Peter’s great nemesis in the end. However, it has not been confirmed yet. It maybe some rumor. The story is being shaped worldwide — and with a very unusual title lead hero as compared to past versions.

The film has been projected to release on July 17, 2015, that has been decided after Warner Bros. changed the release date of the Man Of Steel sequel.

So, what are your views about “Pan” cast members? Do you think Levi Miller is a great choice?
