Channing Tatum, the hardest twerkin’ man in show bizna$$, is set to star in yet another film incantation of the classic story of Peter Pan. The project, tentatively titled Peter Pan Begins *nudges Chris Nolan, rolls eyes* will be produced by Joe Roth and written by Billy Ray, whose name got that terrible “Are You Jimmy Ray” song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot, jerk.
This is Tatum’s first foray into the fantasy genre, but Roth is no stranger. He seems to be quite the expert at taking old ideas and turning them into new versions that destroy our innocence a little more each day.
Roth produced last year’s billion-dollar grossing adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, is in the casting stages of Oz, the Great and Powerful, which is set up at Disney with James Franco and Mila Kunis starring, and has Snow White and the Huntsman set up at Universal with Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in the leads.
While no one has made any bids, the Peter Pan package is attractive. (Via Hollywood Reporter)
Added Jenna Dewan, “Attractive, but burnt.”
As always, my good friend C-Tates was more than happy to give us a little insight into his latest project…
Yo girl, check it, member how I told you dat I’m a fly boy, right? Now I’m like all literal cuz I’m Peter Pan, dat fruit boot playboy done climbin’ in yo window like dat Antoine Dodson girl. But check it, I’mma like fly in yo window and sh*t, and be all like, “Yo boo, I be a child, right? But like, I ain’t growin’ up cuz I’m all from Nurrnurr Land, legit.” And dat Wendy chicken gonna be played by some bangin’ sliz wit a booty like a apple. Wait no, my bad, son. Dat’s dat Snow White sh*t. Yo Informer was my mutha f*ckin’ jam, playboy. But yo, ain’t no Julie Roberts playin no Tinkerbell, ya heard? I need a proper fairy, so I’mma call ya boi Nick Cannon. OH SNAP, SON! YOU JUST GOT PETER PLAYED, BEEYOTCH! Fo real tho, respek yo self.
Editor’s Note from Vince: I suggested that C-Tates’ gritty, dong-burnt reimagining of Peter Pan should be known as “MC P. Pan.” Burnsy adds that the title should be changed from “Peter Pan Begins” to “OPP (Other Peter Pan).”



It’s perfect that Peter Pan know peter pain.
Peter Pan Seared
I’m not going to say that Charlie Sheen should be Captain Hook. I’m just going to say that a hook for a hand is perfect for snorting bumps of coke off of.
Peter Pancita.
More tripe from the Hollywood shit factory.
SMEEEEEEEEEE!
Just sounds like something C-Tates would say.
Flava Flav is pretty much a shoe in for the crocodile at this point.
@Pauly
To get Sheen involved they would have to cast a pornstar as Tinker Bell, but at least it would save money on special effects since he wouldn’t need wire tricks to fly off her pixie dust.
Aw yeh, c-tates gonna conquer the Nevers, then he gunna raid Narnia, then he be dunkin’ that punkass ring in mordor.
If Peter Pan Begins means it’ll just be 90 minutes of toddlers falling out of prams, count me fucking IN.
The 3-d flying break-dancing scene is going to be STUNNING
I really hope Taters finds a way to challenge Hook to a dance-off. Possibly to save some kind of rec center.
Ace-you might b eon to something all together different there…The Mighty Feklahr wonders if Chester Hanks fell out of his pram? BAM! Lost Boy Chet Haze! WINNING!
Nick Cannon makes a perfect fairy. Because, when you have your wife’s name tattooed across your back, it shows everyone your love for strap-ons.
No part for Corey Haim in the Lost Boys? Triple-snub!
I think Charlie Sheen should be the Indian Chief. The musical number could have C-Tates and Charlie Sheen smoking herbs with the goddesses. Winning!
Yo girl, I’mma call you “Smuckers”, cuz your jelly would go great with this smooth Peter Pan.
“Yo gurl, take somma dis here angel dust and you gonna be flyin’ high.”
“Don’t you mean Fairy Dust?”
“Hellz no, I ain’t no kinda fairy.”
what the fuck is a pram
what the fuck is a pram
See, that’s funny, cos when Peter Pan makes his first appearance (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens) he himself is unfamiliar with a number of childhood terms and games, including ‘pram’, and … um, I mean, Fairytits or GTFO!
There’s still time for a title change- my vote is for “Da Hip-Hop Hijinx of Peter Pop-and-lock and the Lizost Boyz”
