Well, this isn't exactly what J. M. Barrie had in mind when he created the boy who never grew up.
Screen Daily is reporting actors Aaron Eckhart ("The Dark Knight"), AnnaSophia Robb ("Race to Witch Mountain") and Sean Bean ("Game of Thrones") have signed onto a dark retelling of the "Peter Pan" tale.
According to the report, the story follows Hook (Eckhart), a former detective tracking down a "childlike kidnapper," presumably Pan. Wendy (Robb) is the kidnapper's only surviving victim who leaves a sanitarium to help Hook in his pursuit. Rounding out the known characters is Smee (Bean), the lead detective on the case and a friend of Hook's.
Eckhart received several critics' associations nominations and awards for his latest work in last year's "Rabbit Hole."
Robb, who was most recently seen in "Soul Surfer," made her film debut in 2005's "Because of Winn-Dixie" and followed it up with roles in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Bridge to Terabithia."
Bean, who has a long and successful career including roles in the Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings," "Golden Eye" and "Equilibrium," can be seen in HBO's currently running series "Game of Thrones," based on the novel by George R. R. Martin.
Ben Hibon is set to direct based on a script from Ben Magid.
