* The.Never.Land, a spec script by John Swetnam, which “tells the story of Wendy and the forever-young boy with a Twilight-ish spin.”
* Peter Pan , a pitch by producer Jeff Rake that features “a Pan family adventure concept.”
* Pan, written by Billy Ray with Channing Tatum attached, which “reimagines the classic 1904 stage play (and later novel) by J.M. Barrie with the boy and the dastardly Captain Hook as brothers.”
* Neverland, a spec script by Aaron Henry and Kirk Kjeldsen in which “Pan [is] recast as a villain abducting London’s children, while Hook, the hero, must stop him.”
* Neverland, a Syfy miniseries that is a prequel of sorts to Peter Pan. The cast includes Rhys Ifans, Anna Friel, Bob Hoskins, Charles Dance, Raoul Trujillo and Charlie Rowe, and Keira Knightley.
A couple of these sound genuinely dreadful: The.Never.Land, and the Neverland spec that makes Peter Pan the villain. Fortunately, those could very easily die on the vine because of the fact that Syfy is already moving forward with its own Neverland and Sony seems keen on beating everyone else to the feature film punch with Pan. That’s where we are with these movies: being happy about the fact that the less-lousy sounding ones might prevent the really awful-sounding ones from getting made.
