I’m of the opinion that Joe Wright is one of the better director’s working today. He’s had success in period pictures before with adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina, as well as his biggest hit with Atonement. One of my favorite works of his was the vastly underrated Hanna. Here he gives us Pan. This looks like a radically different take on the Peter Pan tale. Hugh Jackman stars as Blackbeard (don’t remember him from previous versions), Garrett Hedlund plays a young Hook, and Rooney Mara (swoon) plays Tiger Lily. There’s a newcomer to play Peter, Levi Miller. I particularly enjoyed the music selected for the first part of the trailer the featured ticking clocks. It was very reminiscent of the score in Atonement that featured a typewriter in the music. This one is scheduled to come out on July 17, 2015. This is the same date as Marvel’s Ant-Man. So expect Pan to budge to a different July date. The summer of 2015 is going to be absolutely packed.
