Warner Bros. is revisiting Neverland,offering Javier Bardem the role of Blackbeard, the lead villain. Theproduction company was already reported to be in talks with Joe Wright ( Pride and Prejudice) to direct its revived project writtenfor the screen by Jason Fuchs for the characters created by J. M.Barrie.
It's a little bit confusing as this isthe third Peter Pan project announced in the last two years. Disneyis also developing a prequel to the story called “Peter and theStarcatchers” while Sony is developing “Pan” starring ChanningTatum.
We've last seen Bardem in “ The Counselor” and will do again with Sean Penn in “ The Gunman.”
