Hey, 1928 called. It wants it all back:
Then there’s JM Barrie’s stage version of “Peter Pan; or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up”, the novel by DH Lawrence, “Lady Chatterley's Lover”, Virginia Woolf's “Orlando: A Biography”, Wanda Gág's picture book “Millions of Cats” and many more. (A complete list can be found here.)
“I'm pretty upset that we're probably going to get more Peter Pan material now,” said Josh Lieb, a comedy writer and producer. “Nobody likes Peter Pan. In fact, I think I speak for all of humanity when I say that we hate Peter Pan and that we hate people who make films about him.”
Not everyone hates Peter Pan – sorry, Josh. Bob Greenblatt, producer of the Broadway musical “Smash,” called for a new stage adaptation starring Daniel Radcliffe as Peter, Lindsay Mendez as Wendy and Jonathan Groff as Captain Hook.
Nik Dodani, the actor, also had an idea for a Peter Pan film.
“When Wendy meets Peter, a charismatic and seemingly ageless young man, she is drawn into a nightmarish journey of obsession and uncovers the dark truth behind his eternal youth,” said Dodani. (We couldn't print the dark truth. You'll have to wait for the movie.)
Can I also kick it with music?
Yes you can! Musical compositions such as the original version of “Mack the Knife,” written in German for an opera by Bertolt Brecht entitled “The Threepenny Opera,” and musical recordings such as “Dippermouth Blues” with Louis Armstrong will also be released Jan. 1.
