Disney looking to get back into the PETER PAN game

When most people think of PETER PAN, they probably think back to Disney’s 1953 animated classic. Some people might think back to the less memorable 2003 film, but that’s another story. Either way, it seems that Hollywood is looking to remind us again about the boy who wouldn’t grow up.

The studio is apparently trying to get back into the PETER PAN way of thinking, and are working on their own version of a PETER PAN prequel.

The prequel would follow Carrie’s teenage years as depicted in Candace Bushnell’s The Carrie Diaries, which leads us right up to Blake Lively who is seemingly obvious, yet perfect casting. Now that I’ve imagined Lively in the role, it proves quite difficult to imagine anyone else in the role. Continue reading “Blake Lively to take on Carrie Bradshaw in SEX AND THE CITY prequel?” →
