Beautiful pop-up boat sails into the office for #Pan

Is this galleon-like ship The JOLLY ROGER, where Peter and his fellow friends land on the deck, after they were "kidnapped" as shown in the trailer? Or could that be the much grander QUEEN ANNE'S REVENGE ( Blackbeard's mighty ship)?


Once again, here's the first trailer --

This summer, believe in the prophecy. #PAN




Will they be ramping up the publicity campaign soon?

[jo]

Is Levi a lefty, too ...Or is this just a reverse image?

Is it just my eyes --

but the photo looks a little weird -- Rooney is dainty but is she only as tall as Levi? Garett is not that much taller than Hugh-- but here he looks like a giant tennis player. Maybe the individual photos were spliced together? Or unless Garett and Levi were standing on something ?

Will there be a feature on a forthcoming issue of VANITRY FAIR?

It looks like the production budget has spent a lot on Blackbeard's costumes - LOL!

Odd not to see Peter Pan in green -- but Levi does look more like an impish, adorable, but totally normal
boy

And Rooney does look feisty in her colorful costume!

This film's costume designer, Jacqueline Duran, won an Oscar for Joe Wright's Anna Karenina. She beat Paco Delgado for his work on Les Miserables.

Hugh and Rooney are crouched down, but you can still see the height comparison.

Levi ( ( who is from Brisbane, Australia) was in London recently for some ADR ( aka looping) with Joe Wright for PAN --

Hugh also did some post-production work before he started filming for Eddie the Eagle when he did reshoots with part of the film cast.

*Or even the main plot of the movie

*Or the possibility of a franchise - LOL!

Thanks for the link, Hughmanity

Levi Miller in Pan


Posted April 9 2015 — 3:18 PM EDT



STARRING Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund, Rooney Mara, Levi Miller
DIRECTED BY Joe Wright
NOT YET RATED
RELEASE DATE July 24

It’s easy to get lost in Neverland Forest. I know because I have. Inside Pan’s deciduous set in Cardington, England, nestled like a giant’s terrarium in a cavernous World War II-era hangar, the foliage is thick, the smell peaty, and massive tree trunks reach high toward the sloped roof. Those trunks may be fiberglass, and the peat trucked in, but this place feels alive.

“I’ve tried to build as much as possible,” says director Joe Wright. “Hence this ridiculously enormous forest. I tried to be as physical about it as possible, not to ground the fantasy but to bring it to life.” Wright isn’t your typical helmsman for a summer blockbuster like this—the English director is known for the stylish, literary-minded films Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and Anna Karenina, all adaptations more faithful and with a more elevated brow than Pan, which reimagines the J.M. Barrie tale as a rip-roaring three-act slice of big-budget entertainment. But Wright hopes to bring his artistic mindset as a director—and his tactile sensibilities as a child of puppeteers—to bear on his first major Hollywood outing. Yes, it’s an origin story, and yes, if you ask the producers about trilogy possibilities they all but cross themselves and mutter “God willing,” but Wright is doing all he can to avoid the current trend of turning well-known stories into CG dirges of moral and visual murk. “The usual way is blue and gray, and if it’s blue and gray and kind of hazy, then it looks ‘real,’” says Wright. “Whereas that’s not the idea for this movie. Neverland is vivid and bright and hyperreal. We want color.”

And color there will be, in the form of outlandishly attired pirates, tribesmen who explode into powdered pigment, an entire fight sequence on a trampoline, and, of course, an over-the-top villain of the mustache-twirling variety played by Hugh Jackman. No, not Captain Hook. “It all comes from one line in the book that says Hook used to work as a boatswain for Blackbeard,” says Jackman, who plays the dread pirate who has kidnapped hordes of orphans, including Peter (Levi Miller, an Australian newcomer who beat out thousands for the role), and forced them to work in his fairy-dust mines. Armed with a sword and a penchant for oratory, Jackman’s Blackbeard is a baddie of the old sort. “The villains that I like have an Anthony Hopkins quality, a slight twinkle in their eye,” says Jackman. “This is a man who loves to make speeches. He doesn’t want any of them to end.”

Hook, on the other hand, has had his rap sheet expunged and has been recast as a silver-tongued rogue played by Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy). “He reveals himself to be mischievous, a little maniacal swashbuckling figure that comes to be allies with Peter,” says Hedlund. They’re joined by Tiger Lily, the sword-fighting native princess played by The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s Rooney Mara. (Controversy bubbled over the casting of a white actress in a Native American role, but Wright says they’ve made changes from the book. “The natives, as we imagine them, are constructed from parts of all kinds of indigenous cultures. They’re the natives of Neverland, not Earth,” he says.) The entire cast got to sashay and parry their way through the production. “As actors, there was so much of a sense of child’s play,” says Hedlund. “Like a whole production of make-believe, and us getting to jump around these giant sets. It felt like you were just running out to the woods to play forts.”

Two Aussies as main protagonists -- except they spoke with English accents

A franchise?? Hugh, if Blackbeard is allowed in future sequels, will have to shave his head again and grow that facial hair ??

But all in the name of art

More difficult hurdle -- what if Levi Miller grows fast before a sequel is done


But we'll have to see how the origin movie fares at the box office first

As much as I'd like Hugh to have another high profile, high grossing series (to allow him the time/money) so he can "afford" to appear on stage (which he obviously loves) more often - this is never going to be one of my favorite "looks" for him. In full make-up and in the context of the film it's fine. In Real Life (didn't we see pix of him at a tennis match or something?) it's just - well, lets say I've seen him look better.

[jo]

What a relief it was for all women when he started growing his hair again

I remember someone tweeting about "the national nighmare being over"

A second trailer is expected soon. A Canadian trailer rating list was published on a Canadian site --


www.albertafilmratings.ca/recentclasstrailers.aspx

Title /Ratings/ Date/ Running Time/ Distributor


Pan (trailer #2)/ G / 04/10/2015 /2:24 /Warner Bros. Entertainment

Trailer rating is "G", so it is likely that the final film rating may be leaning towards family-friendly entertainment!


Jo

[suefb]

Ooh, nice find. I can't wait to see what they show us next.

[jo]

Someone on IMDB found it

And he is hoping the trailer will be out as early as ... tomorrow

Maybe he is basing it on experience -- that as soon as the trailer ratings are out, that the trailer comes out right after! Normally it is the fanboys who look out for this kind of scoops.

Maybe if not tomorrow...hopefully in the next few days?

Let's cross our fingers
