With the Thanksgiving holiday this Thursday in the States, Trailer Thursday has clearly been swapped with Trailer Tuesday as a huge batch of new promos has just landed. One of the bigger ones, since it features the first proper footage from the movie, is for Peter Pan origin story Pan. Take a look at the teaser below, and find new stills and posters lurking lower down the page.
Pan, directed by Atonement’s Joe Wright, aims to put a new spin on J.M. Barrie’s story, exploring how Neverland’s most famous young resident came to be. In this version, Peter (Levi Miller) is a lad in an orphanage abandoned by his mother, who has nevertheless left a note saying she hopes to come and reunite with him – cryptically in this world or another.
But before that can happen, our hero is indeed whisked off to another world, as he’s kidnapped by the dread pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman, walking the line between panto and pulp). Put to work in the mines, he meets a charming, cocky, Indiana Jones-style rogue named James Hook and the pair escapes, only to land in the clutches of the local natives, led by Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara). And that’s just the start of Peter's adventures.
With Amanda Seyfried, Jack Charles, Tae-joo Na, Nonso Anozie, Kathy Burke, Kurt Egyiawan, Lewis MacDougall and Leni Zieglmeier also aboard, Pan is out on July 17 next year.
