From Warner Bros. Pictures comes PAN, a live-action Peter Pan feature which is the very first imaginative prequel to Peter Pan’s stories. It has never been done before and this makes this movie so original. It’s a Neverland story that has never been told before and that explores the friendship between Peter Pan and Hook before it turns bad for good. The real villain here is eternal youth seeking Pirate Blackbeard (played by no less than Wolverine aka Hugh Jackman).
