Back In November it was mentioned that Guillermo del Toro would be directing the much darker re-imagining of the story of "Peter Pan". Today the story picked up some movement when Screen Daily announced a few interesting things.
Firstly, it was mentioned that that Ben Hibon will now be taking the directors helm for the story written by Ben Magid. According to the article Aaron Eckhart has been cast as Captain Hook, who in this tale has been re-imagined as a former detective hunting down a child-like kidnapper. Anna Sophia Robb (The Reaping, The Bridge To Teribethia) has been cast as the lead heroine Wendy, a mental asylum escapee who joins the hunt.
Sean Bean (Black Death, lent Hill) will play Smee. However, in this vion of the story Smee is a chief detective and Captain Hooks only companion on the force.
I don't know about the rest of you but this definitely sounds like an interesting take on the story. I don't exactly have high hopes or expectations for the project but so far the casting is fairly decent and they could surprise us with this one.
