Casting is now complete and Warner Bros Pictures says filming will begin at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on April 28, 2014 on the live-action still-untitled Peter Pan movie starring Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund, Rooney Mara, Amanda Seyfried, and Levi Miller. Joe Wright (Hanna, Atonement) is directing from a script by Jason Fuchs based on the J.M. Barrie characters.

Jackman is playing Blackbeard, Hedlund is Hook, Mara is Tiger Lily, Seyfried is Mary, and Miller will be playing Peter Pan. The cast also includes Jack Charles as The Chief/Tiger Lily’s father, Taejoo Na as Kwahu, Nonso Anozie as Bishop, Kathy Burke as Mother Barnabas, Kurt Egyiawan as Murray, Lewis MacDougall as Nibs, and Leni Zieglmeier as Wendy Darling.

The Plot:

Offering a new take on the origin of the classic characters created by J.M. Barrie, the film follows the story of an orphan who is spirited away to the magical Neverland. There, he finds both fun and danger and ultimately discovers his destiny—to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.

Warner Bros has set a July 17, 2015 theatrical release date for this action-adventure tale.
