The Land of Pan: Peter Pan Fansite
|
Welcome to The Land of Pan! I am Kate, I made this site on July 1, 2004. I decided to make this fansite after I saw the movie. I knew I was going to love the movie before I saw it, and then I finally saw it and boom, guess what, I LOVED IT! You'll have to be patient with me as I get this started, I hope to work with some other people and make this site really great. I want to get the script on the site, so I will have to find it somewhere on the internet. If you want to be an affiliate to my site send me an e-mail at sccrbob08@hotmail.com and ask. If you have some things I could add to my site please let me know, because I want to make my site the best possible.
July 2, 2004, 2:30 PM ET - Hola peeps, Kate here, today was fun, it is my last day a vacation I am in North Carolina. We've stayed ina beach house all week. So anyways, Here in Avon there is a road called the... Jolly Roger. I mean how awesome is that? I am going to take a picture of the street sign, and I will put it up here. If anyone has any pictures I can use for my site, please let me know, because my site is really empty right now, and I want to fill it up with quotes, facts, pictures, and fun stuff. So please e-mail me (sccrbob08@hotmail.com) thanks. If anyone can make really awesome graphics please contact me because I want to have some made for my site, thanks. I guess that's all for know. Peach out! P.S. I am planning on transcripting the movie when I get home from vacation, we're coming home tomorrow, so I should have the script done within the next 3-4 days, depending on how much time I have, toodles!
July 3, 2004 9:20 PM ET - Hey all, I actually don't think anyone has been to this site. So I need to put in a guestbook eh? And when I do please sign it. Whenever I make sites, I always give up because I think no one comes to them. So...please sign it so I will know that people came here. (Sign even if you don't like my site) Anyways, I have watched Peter Pan twice since I last wrote. (My mom says I have OCD about movies, I get overly obsessed with them) Oh well. Maybe it will pass, maybe it won't. Well will know...whenever. If you would like to help me with this site, please e-mail me. (I am going to add some stuff tonight, some quotes maybe, some trivia, and goofs)
July 7, 2004 1:35 PM ET - Lots of work being done on the site. HUGE THANKS TO SARAH FROM I BELIEVE cannot thank you enough Sarah. I am working on the script right now, I am only like 25 minutes into the movie, not even, but it will get done. And if you want to use it for your site please e-mail me first, I am working really hard to make it and I don't want people taking it and saying they did it on their own.
July 17, 2004 1:10 PM ET - Ugh, I have been busy this past week and a half, I haven't gotten any more done on the script, I am so mad, and I haven't updated this site in like forever. I am really sorry everyone. But, I did get an e-mail to be affiliates with someone so I am going to add that. And I hope to get more of the script done today, I really think I need to sit down and do that. Bah. Okay, well Don't forget to sign the DreamBook or send me an e-mail.

-Thanks for this info IMDb.com- (I used the cast list and pulled off the main characters to put in here)
Wendy (Hurd-Wood) loved to enchant her brothers Michael (Popplewell) and John (Newell) with stories of sword fights, pirates and daring do. Little did she know that her stories had sparked the imagination of another boy, who would whisk back to his home and tell his friends of these adventures. One night he stayed too long and Wendy caught him sneaking around her room. He told her he enjoyed listening to her stories and would she come with him and tell more of them to the Lost Boys. When she asked where they where going he said, second star to the right and straight till morning until they reach Neverland, a place where she will never have to grow up and the home of Peter Pan (Sumpter).
Not counting Steven Spielberg’s travesty Hook, this is the first live action adaptation of the J. M. Barrie classic since the silent era and the great news is that is captures the essence of the book superbly.
You can argue that Disney’s animated version of the exploits of the boy who would never grow up as on of their finest but seeing the characters in the flesh adds to the magic of this enchanting story. Screenwriter/Director PJ Hogan has done an excellent job of bringing all aspects of the book to life. From the Mermaids and Indians to the Pirates and the Lost Boys, everything is here to enjoy as they bound around the beautifully realised Neverland. The magical land is exquisitely brought to life via computer graphics and some elaborate sets. The Jolly Roger and Black Castle sets standout but the rest are also exceptional and everything you have ever visualized from reading the novel.
The astounding look of the film is complemented by some outstanding performances from the cast. The very underestimated Jason Isaacs excels as Captain James Hook. Playing one of the all time great literary villains, Isaacs makes the role his own with all the candour and viciousness that the character deserves. This is a career defining part that should move his into the big leagues after a string of supporting roles. Rachel Hurd-Wood makes an exceptional motion picture debut as Wendy. This is the key character in the story and it is the young actress’s sheer screen presence that drives the film. She is a child actress that should have a great future in the industry. Harry Newell and Freddie Popplewell are also very good as John and Michael.
The support from the older cast is also first rate. Olivia Williams plays Mrs Darling very well and you can never imagine wanting to forget about her. Lynne Redgrave is as good as ever as the pushy Aunt Millicent, who just wants Wendy to grow up. Richard Briers makes an exceptional Mr Smee, capturing the true essence of the character. You forget what a great actor he is. Ludivine Sagnier might not have much to say but she has to be the sexiest looking Tinkerbell ever. The French actress is simply stunning looking.
The film’s only flaw is quite a big one and that is Jeremy Sumpter as Peter Pan. While he has the exact look of the character he just doesn’t have the screen presence of the other actors. The chemistry between him and Rachel Hurd-Wood is good but it seems to be her performance that is pulling the pair’s scenes along. The fact that he has an American accent also doesn’t help but he is good in the action sequences however.
PJ Hogan has captured everything that is magical about the classic tale and a little more. It is the tender love story between Peter and Wendy that is the driving force of the film and it is that sweet innocence that makes the movie so good for both adults and children alike. The action sequences are superb but it is the story that rings true.
Now where is that star again?
