Previously it was announced that Wolverine star Hugh Jackman signed a deal to play Blackbeard. Garrett Hedlund has been confirmed to play Captain Hook. The three main casts have been chosen now, but it has not been confirmed so far who will play the role of Peter Pan. However, it has been reported that production team is trying to find an actor between the ages of 10 and 12 for the role of Peter. Jason Fuchs, who is known for comedy animation film Ice Age: Continental Drift, has been announced to write the script.
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.
The versatile actress Rooney has been engaging in quite autonomous characters in recent films. Besides her outstanding performance in current movies including Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Oscar nominated film “Her”, and Terrence Malick’s still-untitled Austin project, she has also teamed up with Todd Haynes for the film Carol together with this year’s Best Actress Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett. Carol is based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel “The Price of Salt” set in 1950s New York. Rooney has been assigned to play the juvenile a department-store clerk named Therese, who dreams of a better life but finds herself feeling attracted to Cate’s dejected housewife character Carol Aird.
The movie “Pan” is already confirmed to be launched in cinemas on July 17, 2015 under the Warner Bros. banner. A lot of fans are already speculating how different storytelling this new version would have as compared to Barrie's "Peter Pan", Steven Spielberg's Hook and 2003's Peter Pan. Warner Bros. studio sees this as a film that can attract huge fan-base of classic novel based films like “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings”.
