| This wonderful painting of Peter Pan is done by creator, illustrator, and designer Nicholas Jackson. You can find his website HERE to see more of his work. I love Nicholas' art, but I'm getting tired of this story. |
We've had the original story by J.M. Barrie of course. And we've had a plethora of Peter Pan-ish adaptations and reboots. There was the awful Robin Williams/Dustin Hoffman matchup called Hook. And then there's the fact that Once Upon A Time is now doing an entire season on Peter Pan with Once Upon A Time in Neverland. This season is a real draaaagg, and it may just be the season that convinces me to stop watching Once Upon A Time completely. Oh and Peter Pan in the Once Upon A Time version is a real jerkface not to mention that the show completely rips off every bit of fiction there is. Nothing is sacred. This week's show had a whole bunch of the shadows flying around, and I swear that they looked just like the Dementors did in Harry Potter.
Yawn. Anyway, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I hear Hollywood is doing three Peter Pan movies. Seriously? I'm afraid so.
1) Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice) is making a Peter Pan origins movie.
2) Columbia is developing a Peter Pan movie.
3) And Disney (not to be outdone) is adapting Peter and the Starcatchers.
I really don't care for any of these. Can we just vote in a Peter Pan moratorium for the next four decades? Are there really that many people out there that, upon finishing one Peter Pan tale, turn around and go "Oh I wish we could see this again with different actors and maybe an origin or what happens after story!?"
Peter Pan is a dead horse that really needs to be laid to rest. And that, my friends, is something you can take to the bank.
