Disney to make ‘Peter and the Starcatchers’ into a moive
Disney will adapt the best-selling children’s novel “Peter and the Starcatchers,” which has been made into a popular Broadway show, into a movie, according to Deadline.com.
The book, written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, is the origin story of Peter Pan. The Broadway adaptation, which Disney helped produce, received nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Play.
The “Peter and the Starcatchers” book series was published by Disney’s Hyperion Books.
According to Deadline.com, Jesse Wigutow has been hired to write the film adaptation. Wigutow has adapted the Robert Ludlum thriller “Osterman Weekend.”
Just like with the upcoming Maleficent movie, I'm worried about this. I hope people realize that this is someone else's interpretation of Pan's origin, as Barrie didn't cover that all the way. And I hope people don't consider it a prequel to the animated movie…will it be live-action or animated?
I agree with you. People need to understand this is someone else's interpretation of the original story I would think that this is going to be a live- action movie opposed to animated, just because you normally don't hear about screenwriter's chosen for animated movies, they usually come from within the animation department.
I can't wait for the the movie!
I don't mind if it would be animated or live-action.
But my opinion is that even though the authors of the book are different from the real author doesn't mean the movie can't be animated. Since the book DID get rights to make a prequel about Peter Pan. And Disney has the authority to animate it since the animated Peter Pan was their idea. But live action is good too. Though it is not as much preferred because then it would kinda be cheesy. (people in harnesses? Seriously?)
But whatever the turn out is I know it will be good.
