New Line Hooks Horror Take on Peter Pan
Variety reports New Line has acquired horror pitch Pan by scribe Ben Magid in a preemptive bid and set it up with Brooklyn Weaver's Energy Entertainment banner.

The story is reportedly a backward take on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan with supernatural elements in which the Pan character's a villain tracked by police captain named Hook. New Line pres Toby Emmerichand Jeff Katz are overseeing for the studio.

Yeah thats right

There's nothing wrong with a dark fairy tale (after all a lot of fairy tales WERE dark before Disney got their hands on them) but this one just seems plain wrong IMO :x

This might work...

Freeway was a superb twist on Little Red Riding Hood.

Cheers Grimm.

Hoho!

I hear the Company of Wolves is also quite good. Well originally Red Riding Hood was a lot darker/gorier than the kids tale it has become I believe.

OK I know what you mean, but the kids tale doesnt go into the gory details does it?
