The bidding war for Pan, the Peter Pan origin story with Channing Tatum attached to star, has finally ended, with Sony paying in the $1 million range, according to sources. It’s actually a bargain considering the cost to train, feed, and board the team of coked-up manatees it must’ve taken to dream up such a ridiculous concept. “The 30-year-old guy from Step Up 2 Tha Streets starring in an origin story about an androgynous boy who doesn’t age? Why that’s a splendid idea, Manatees! More cocaine!”
And yes, I assume Flavor Flav is still the lead candidate to play the crocodile.
Sony is in negotiations to pick up Pan, the Peter Pan project that has Channing Tatum attached to star, Billy Ray writing and Joe Roth producing.
The package, which seeks to tell the origin of the flying immortal, went out last Tuesday, generating strong interest. Bidding came down to three suitors and sources said the deal was in the $1 million range.
Tatum, his producing partner Reid Carolin and Eric Bromberg came up with the idea and brought it to Ray, Roth and Roth Films’ Palak Patel. The five of them further developed the idea into the pitch, which envisioned Pan and Captain Hook as brothers. [THR]
I assume that by brothers he meant black guys.

Because that worked soooooo well for Wolverine. Why don’t you cast a Black Eyed Pea while you’re at it?
Fergie would be the perfect Wendy to Tatum’s Pan.
Is Tatum playing the dad who unsuccessfully tried to talk Peter’s mom into getting her fourth abortion?
Damn son, them boys be LOST yo.
Daw, I was hoping Captain Hook would be the DJ.
It’s gonna be anticlimactic when Cap’n Hook drowns trying to ghost ride the galleon.

RU….FI…YOOOOOOOOOO!
Wilford Brimley as Smee or GTFO.
Justin Bieber as Tinkerbell or GTFO
The Lost Boys will now be known as Da Pimps.
CAPTAIN HOOK: He’ll crow. He’ll fight. He’ll fly. And then…he’ll die…..Well, he’ll crow, then dance, then passive aggressively hit on a stuck up rich girl while pretending to possess some sort of black guy street cred’ while wearing sports jerseys with his nickname ‘Pan Da’ Man’ on the back…then lament that he in the stuck up rich girl are too different to be together…then get together after a uniting dance number at a playground versus a rival dance crew just as an instructor from Guillard is watching ….then fly…then die.
I am saddened that the banner pic’s Peter Pan doesn’t have his hand down C-Tates’ pants. Opportunity was a knocking.
After several lengthy meetings, it was determined that Patel did, in fact, know what Tatum and his crew were saying, and provided them with digits. Why said digits had to be provided on a fishing rod confused Palak, but C-Tates was adamant about keeping things on the reel.
Will this be a re-imagining where they do parkour instead of flying?
Banner pic: Dor sho gha! They got John Galliano as lead costume designer?
Yo gurl, real talk I knows the age uz consent is 17 here in Nurrnurrland but you been 14 fur like 5 yurs.
The Lost Boys will now be known as Da Pimps.
Da Lost Boyz’ battle cry will be ‘Where Brooklyn at?’
I’m guessing C-Tate plays the Peter?
And I can stop hating Ryan Phillippe now because I thought he and Channing Tatum were the same person? Soooooo………awkwaaard.
Re: Banner Pic
I’ve met that dude. I have a picture of myself with him. I can’t remember if I saw him in Orlando, Jacksonville, or Tampa. Ask Burnsy, he’ll know which it was.
