There’s Just Something Slightly Off About Pan
A new trailer for the upcoming Peter Pan movie has hit the web, and while it looks like a riotous good time, there’s just something about about the movie Pan.
There’s the white-washing, for one. There’s all this talk of the ‘natives’, but their representative is the lilywhite new Tiger Lily. Then there’s the abominable fact that Hugh Jackman is playing Blackbeard the pirate, and that Captain Hook is Peter Pan’s best pal/partner/sidekick. Who thought that was a good idea?
Still, weirdness aside, the CGI action effects look pretty cool. Pan might be this generation’s Hook, and I love me some Hook!

A Day For Movie Trailers Starring Children
As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, the cool movie trailers are going to start ramping up. Next year is only a few weeks away, and as I understand it, there are movie studios who are going to actually try and compete with Avengers: Age of Ultron. To do that, they’re falling back on familiar franchises with movies that star young boys.
First up is Jurassic World, which promises…I dunno. It’s either going to herald a return to glory for Jurassic Park or turn this franchise into the equivalent of Friday the 13th movies. And be on the lookout for star Chris Pratt. Every single line he has in this trailer seems straight out of a parody, especially at the 1:42 mark. Seriously, he might as well be in an SNL skit.
Jurassic World comes out on June 12.
The second film is Pan, telling a prequel, of sorts, to the classic Peter Pan story. This movie is probably going to bomb terribly, like John Carter. Not only did they cast a white actress to play Tiger Lily, but Capt. Hook is a good guy in this film. They seriously brought in Blackbeard the Pirate just so that they would have a pirate in this film while still being able to make Capt. Hook a hunky good guy. It’s ridiculous.
But here’s the trailer anyway!
Pan hits theaters on June 26.
