According to The Hollywood Reporter, Channing Tatum, producer Joe Roth and writer Billy Ray are developing an origin film about Peter Pan. Right now, the story is being marketed as “Peter Pan Begins”. Not much is known about the story’s plot or whether Tatum is planning on acting in the film or simply producing. Common sense dictates that he would be producing or, at the most, producing and acting in an adult role. Peter Pan has always been a boy, so it’ll be odd to see Tatum in tights. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this pitch is part of the growing trend of classic literature being used for movie ideas;…
