TServo2049 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I can't help but cringe on behalf of WB execs every time I see a TV spot.As in, they are cringing too? Regardless of how this movie seemed on paper, how it could have turned out, how much effort Joe Wright put into it, or how it actually turns out, I get this feeling WB is thinking "OK, this was greenlit by the last regime and we're stuck with it, let's just get it over with."

MrPink Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well I for one can't wait to see the Smells Like Teen Spirit and Blitzkrieg Bop renditions because that sounds hilarious 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 This whole enterprise felt wrong headed from the very beginning. Do not hire an arthouse director if you don't want an arthouse film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 How did this sound like a good idea to anyone? Positioned as a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s classic Peter Pan stories, “Pan” swaps puckish mischief and innocence for doses of Steampunk design, anachronistic music, a stock “chosen one” narrative and themes of child labor, warfare and unsustainable mineral mining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 child labor, warfare and unsustainable mineral mining This shit isn't Peter Pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) This shit isn't Peter Pan. Pixie dust mined by [kidnapped and occasionally murdered] child slave labor is just the kind of stuff that screams fun for the entire family! I cant imagine why it's not getting a Holiday release.

TServo2049 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) So this is not only Peter Pan Begins, but also Pan-vatar, with pixie dust as the stand-in for Unobtainium? And am I the only one who got a vibe of this being more a semi-knockoff of Stardust with the Peter Pan mythos grafted onto it? Meanwhile, there must be rejoicing at Disney, for this will be forgotten in five years and they can conceivably swoop in with their own live-action remake of the 1952 version, or their purported Peter and the Starcatchers adaptation, without fear of it being confused with this one. (Not saying that's a good thing either, but my point is that this has no chance of gaining a foothold in the public consciousness...)

dudalb Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 This shit isn't Peter Pan. Hey, it just Shay playing his old "Everybody seems to hate this film,so I will be the guy who stands up for it" routine. But I agree, comparing the Barrie Peter Pan with this P.O.S. movie is idiotic.

dudalb Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) He's not playing Hook. True, he is playing Blackbeard as a Hook wannabe. And the real Edward Teach is probably rolling over in his grave..... Edited September 20, 2015 by dudalb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
