\"JavierBardem\"<\/a>It appears that Joe Wright’s Peter Pan origin film Pan<\/strong> is hitting the fast track towards production. Wright only signed on to the project last week<\/a> and we already have word as to who may be under consideration to head up the film’s villainous pack of pirates.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Javier Bardem – one of the go-to guys for speculating about movie bad guy roles – has been offered the lead role for the film.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, according to Deadline’s story, the role is not that of the traditional Peter Pan<\/em> villain of Captain Hook, but that of historical pirate Blackbeard. Which I think actually hints at a way that the film will possibly end, with a member of Blackbeard’s crew loosing his hand and then rising up to take command after Blackbeard’s demise.<\/p>\n

Now this version of the Peter Pan story titled Pan<\/strong> should not be confused with the screenplay of the same title that appeared on the 2006 Black List. In that version, written by Ben Magid, Hook is a modern day police detective investigating a string of child kidnappings and his only lead is a young woman who escaped the clutches of the kidnapper fifteen years earlier by the name of Wendy.<\/p>\n

Wright will be directing from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
