Couch Potato Club:
Swiss director Ben Hibon has signed on to direct a fantasy action thriller movie titled Pan for Social Capital Films and Energy Entertainment. Hibon is the same man who directed the animated sequence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which explained the tale of “The Deathly Hallows”. The movie is set to put a dark and sinister spin on the Peter Pan tale.
Warner Bros. may not be directly adapting the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage show, but some casting news indicates they may use its characters.

Rather than just giving us a live action remake of Peter Pan, like PJ Hogan’s 2003 version, PAN instead imagines a new origin story that takes us to before Peter became Pan, before Hook became a villain, and when the true pirate was Blackbeard. The set and character design of Pan are designed to launch this film as a cinematic universe that could tell countless stories.
GMD: We all know of a story about a boy who never wanted to grow up, but director Joe Wright’s take on this beautifully-screened production was one never seen before. We’ve been bombarded with Peter Pan stories throughout the years such as Steven Spielberg’s Hook, P.J Hogan’s Peter Pan, and Marc Forster’s Finding Neverland, but none show the same inspiring interpretation as this prequel.
It will be interesting on how they put a more darker sinister spin on Pan, wonder how it will be received though
I don't like that they are altering the story. But that seems almost common nowadays. Hopefully it will be better than Hook.
