Pan Press Conference –\u00a0Director Joe Wright & Cast Gives A New Life to Pan In Prequel<\/strong>by Brad Balfour<\/p>\n

October 7, 2015<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since Scottish novelist\/playwright J.M. Barrie\u2019s Peter Pan first appeared over a hundred years ago, the play and novel became source material for a slew of retellings. No wonder \u2014 it\u2019s a classic story about a boy who flies, doesn\u2019t grow up, has his gang of \u201clost boys\u201d and lives in place called Neverland.<\/p>\n

Yes, something about Barrie\u2019s story continues to inspire. Who would believe that this character had become so archetypal that it spawned such a slew of variations and reworkings from Broadway shows, to cartoons and live-action versions.<\/p>\n

Now comes British director Joe Wright\u2019s Pan, an attempt, through a wholly original live-action adventure, to lend Barrie\u2019s beloved characters an origin story. In this telling 12-year-old Peter (Levi Miller) who has an irrepressible rebellious streak, hopes to escape the bleak London orphanage where he\u2019s lived his whole life culminating in surviving the bombing of Britain at the start of World War II.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

While trying to uncover the secret of the mother who apparently abandoned him in that place, Peter is suddenly spirited away in a flying galleon, speeding him and his fellow orphans to Neverland, a
\nfantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies. Ultimately teamed with reluctant friend James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), and warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara), Peter must defeat ruthless pirate leader Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and comprehend his destiny \u2014 to fly and become the hero known as Peter Pan.<\/p>\n

Wright and screenwriter Jason Fuchs take incredible liberties with the story, its context and imagery both the serve a contemporary audience and fulfill the visual outrageous ideas that suits its 3-D dramatics. Despite some controversies \u2014 for example, the casting of Rooney Mara rather than a native American and the dread of stalwart fans in seeing many liberties taken with the story\u2019s visual and dramatic elements \u2014 the film has an energy all its own. There\u2019s a strong undercurrent of punkiness to the pirates\u2019 culture and a brutal side to the tribe that protects the faeries. As to the faeires \u2014 they\u2019re not all sweetness and light as in the Disney version \u2014 they can turn into a stinging swarm of berserkers who throw pirates to their death.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a>As for casting, it was a master stroke putting together The X-Men\u2019s Wolverine and On the Road\u2019s Dean Moriarty with Elisabeth Salander \u2014 The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo \u2014 all in one film. Each of these veteran actors employed the same instincts that drove those other characters to give life to these outlandish ones in this film.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s 45-year-old Joe Wright himself, the English director known for such period films as the romantic dramas Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, the action thriller Hanna and his gorgeous adaptation of the classic Anna Karenina. To another director making this Pan might be a stretch but with after making those other films, it seems a natural step to make this elaborate and outrageous fantasy.<\/p>\n

And there was a touch of the snark and fantasy to the press conference held at the Conrad Hotel a couple of weeks before the film\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Jason, you wrote this. Why this story? Who is Peter Pan and what is it like being a Lost Boy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Fuchs:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been pretty obsessed with Peter Pan from a young age. I got stuck on a Peter Pan amusement park ride with my dad when I was nine. We were up in a miniature flying pirate ship over London for about a half hour and I got really curious about where he came from and how he flew and where Neverland was. So, for about 20 years, I was fascinated by this; 20 years later I\u2019m sitting here.<\/p>\n

Hugh, what did your kids think about you doing this movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hugh Jackman: My kids love it. [They] are 15 and 10 and brutally honest; they went, \u201cOh, we actually really like this one!\u201d \u201cOh yeah? What are you saying?\u201d The ultimate compliment was when they said, \u201cCan we have another screening? We want to bring our friends.\u201d That\u2019s when I knew they really loved it.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

How did you get into this character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> I always wanted to play a role like this in a world like this. Swashbuckling, sword fighting pirates. I loved it. As soon as I knew Joe Wright was on board I jumped in. I actually did a bit of research about the real Blackbeard and he was kind of amazing. I told Joe, \u201cBlackbeard would take incense sticks and glue them to his beard while going into battle so it looked like his head was on fire.\u201d I asked Joe what he thought of that and he said, \u201cHmm, I was thinking of something a little different.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had my face on his iPad with white cracked makeup, the Marie Antoinette wig and the costume of Louis the XIV. From then on, 90% of the characterization was from Joe and the hair and makeup department and they had better ideas than me. Everyday I felt like 80% of my work was done by these over-the-top costumes and ruffles and feathers.<\/p>\n

Rooney, how did you create your Tiger Lily?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Rooney Mara:<\/strong> It\u2019s like what Hugh said, a lot of it was done for us. We had an amazing script, we had Joe, we had an amazing hair and makeup team and I really spent a lot of time with the stunt department learning how to fight so I could stand up to Hugh who\u2019s just good at everything he does.<\/p>\n

It took a lot of really hard work to be able to come off as somewhat good at fighting. We were lucky enough that we got a good amount of rehearsal time and the three of us spending a lot of time together, That was really helpful.<\/p>\n

As a former child actor, what do you do to stay out of trouble?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> I\u2019ve seen lots of child actors go off the rails and I don\u2019t really want to do that.<\/p>\n

And what do you think about the internet being this new Wonderland that people can escape to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> There\u2019s lot of ways about [getting to] Neverland. I don\u2019t really know\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

And Hugh, what do you think about the internet being the new Wonderland that people can escape to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> Well, there are two of us on this panel who are parents. The internet is something I didn\u2019t have as a child, and ultimately it\u2019s an incredible tool. You can have any question answered, you can follow down any road you\u2019re curious.<\/p>\n

I have to tell you, yesterday around 4 o\u2019clock I went into my daughter\u2019s room \u2014 it was her day off from school \u2014 and she was playing with her dolls and dollhouse and pretending. Please don\u2019t tell her I\u2019m telling this story, but nothing is really going to replace the imagination.<\/p>\n

\"PAN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Joe beautifully puts it in the movie, Neverland is the world of the child\u2019s imagination. The whole movie is seen from the view of an 11-year-old. Nothing is going to replace the limitlessness of our imagination. Sure, the internet is able to answer questions and you can go places you have never gone, but nothing replaces the vastness of the imagination. As an adult, what I love about this movie, is that it makes me feel [like] that 11-year-old again.<\/p>\n

Joe, you\u2019re \u201cintroducing\u201d Levi. Why did you decide to do that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe Wright:<\/strong> Because that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing. We saw over 4000 video taped auditions and it felt like very hard work. Suddenly Levi\u2019s face popped up and it felt like a radiant, wonderful talent and I hope the world will be as thrilled as we were.<\/p>\n

Garrett, you and Levi got off easy because your costumes weren\u2019t that complicated, but Hugh and Rooney, that wasn\u2019t the case by far; how did your costumes help transform you into your characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garrett Hedlund:<\/strong> I know mine wasn\u2019t as complicated as theirs, but it became complicated when rear of my pants ripped. Maybe I was wearing drawers or maybe I wasn\u2019t. But we had to stitch them.<\/p>\n

For the rest of you, how exactly did the costumes help you transform into your characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> For me, massively. The moment you see Blackbeard in mirrors being dressed, and by the way, on this movie I had to be dressed. On every film you get a dresser and I\u2019m like, \u201cI think I can put on jeans,\u201d but for this movie I was like, \u201cI think we need an extra person in here.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were layers upon layers, beautifully handmade boots, it was astonishing. The moment I put it on I felt like a show pony, kind of like a pirate that loves playing Blackbeard. He loves being
\nBlackbeard, he loves all the pomp and ceremony of it and the adoration.<\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> I think costumes are one of the most helpful things for getting into character. My costume was incredible, it was inspired by Joe\u2019s son who\u2019s obsessed with belly buttons. It sounded like a cute idea: \u201cOh yeah, I\u2019ll wear a midriff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two months later I\u2019m like, \u201cWhy did I fucking do this?\u201d It was really hard to fight in my costume because there were so many things dangling everywhere. It was hard to hide padding or harnesses under it. It wasan incredible costume, but by week four I was ready to burn it.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the music you used in those big pirate ensemble scenes \u2014 in the mine and on Blackbeard\u2019s flagship \u2014 I\u2019ve never heard a rendition of Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit\u201d or The Ramones\u2019 \u201cBlitzkrieg Bop\u201d done quite like that. How did that come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> As for the songs, that was Joe\u2019s idea. It was not something I read in the script. I remember when we were trying it out there were some Warner Bros executives visiting rehearsals and I heard them as they went by and they said, \u201cI didn\u2019t know we were doing a musical.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Joe was like, \u201cLet’s try it.\u201d That was the atmosphere on set. We all filmed it with a lot of stomping, and the pirates had to go back in and record our vocals. So near the end of the shoot we were at the London recording studio and one by one we\u2019d go in and record. I recorded my track and from the sound booth a very polite sound guy goes, \u201cMr. Jackman, that was fantastic, but it\u2019s sounding a little Broadway.\u201d [Hugh sings a little rendition of his Broadway-esque version.]\n

Why the music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> It was just an idea. We had a hilarious week of pirate bootcamp where all the actors\u2026 It\u2019s amazing how actors jump at the idea of playing pirates, fully grown tough men, and they\u2019re going \u201cyeah, I\u2019ll wear an eyepatch.\u201d<\/p>\n

So we had the bootcamp and I wanted to find some music that was right for the energy for them. We tried some sea shanties and they didn\u2019t quite feel tough enough, then we tried some punk and the energy in the room changed and everyone started pogoing around. So I thought we\u2019d give it a go.<\/p>\n

What was behind changing the time period and how did that opened up things, story-wise? How did it help the actors come into their own?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

JW: <\/strong>The time period of Neverland is non-specific. I liked the idea of Neverland as a place where all time periods can collide. So you can have Elizabethan costumes, 1930s costumes, and The Ramones. Jason can explain more about the setting at the beginning of the movie in the Second World War.<\/p>\n

JF:<\/strong> I wanted it to feel like Peter was really escaping from something, so in the original book it was set just around the turn of the 20th century, but I thought if we set it during WW II, it would heighten the desperation of a kid that wants to imagine a very different world.<\/p>\n

The second reason was that I really wanted to see pirate ships fighting spitfire planes. Selfishly, I thought that would be a cool sequence and in Joe\u2019s hands, it was pretty spectacular.<\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> When I first met with Joe, I was reading this origin story of Hook, and it\u2019s not necessarily the version everybody knows and loves; in this version, Peter and Hook are allies, so it\u2019s an interesting take.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

I met with Joe to see how he saw Hook and he said he saw Hook as a character out of an early John Ford film; if he wasn\u2019t in Neverland, he\u2019d be happy in the prairie on a horse. It was a new spin on Blackbeard and that was super interesting.<\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> It was freedom to play. I assume for Jason, he took this idea and ran with it. I\u2019m the one actor here who\u2019s playing a character that\u2019s fresh to it. There\u2019s a reference here, a cool link there, you can see the ways Joe and Garrett and I try to link things. In terms of the time period, Neverland is in your imagination, so anything is possible.<\/p>\n

What was the most challenging or fun aspect of making the movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RM: <\/strong>For me the most challenging part was the fight with Hugh. We shot that fight for four weeks and we practiced it way longer than that. It was my first time doing anything remotely like that and Hugh is an incredible fighter, he does stunts, he\u2019s a dancer, so Hugh is used to picking up choreography and we\u2019d be rehearsing this over and over and he\u2019d pick it up so fast. He would literally just keep going and going and going, he never got tired or winded or complained. That was a really hard fight and we basically had to do it on a balance beam.<\/p>\n

\"PAN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the day that it was time to shoot it we realized we had to do the fight with wires because it was too dangerous to do it without them, and that kinda changes everything about your center of gravity and the way you move. It was really fun, but that was the most challenging part of the shoot for me.<\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> It was three or four weeks. That was a, physically, particularly challenging scene. I don\u2019t remember when the decision was to take the fight onto the mast, I said that\u2019s a brilliant idea without realizing that my big feet in these boots were going to be on that balance beam. It was not easy.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

But I think acting-wise \u2014 and it\u2019s something John and I talked about and I\u2019m grateful for \u2014 it\u2019s challenging finding the right tone for a movie like this which is unabashedly enthusiastic and open. My character is larger than life in some ways and loves the sound of his own voice, but is also mournful, sad, and lonely, so you have to have the right amount of menace, but not too much.<\/p>\n

That kind of balancing is really challenging and fun. That\u2019s why, if I have the choice, I try to work with directors like Joe who have great taste and allow actors to play with the freedom to not worry about whether or not they\u2019re getting it right.<\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> I had a fight sequence that lasted four weeks that was on a trampoline. I\u2019m still trying to make sure my brain is still positioned right in my skull. Same thing, when I first met with Joe, it wasn\u2019t in the script.<\/p>\n

There was a fight sequence but he said, \u201cI have this idea. My son loves trampolines, how are you on the trampoline?\u201d And I didn\u2019t know if it was my job but then I said, \u201cJoe, I\u2019m really great, I can do flips, backflips.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"PAN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My opposer is played by Tae-Joo Na, one of the top martial artists in South Korea, so I had my work cut out for me in that scene. As difficult as it was at times, I still had fun. I wanted to be in one of those slapsticky things where the guy that appears to be in control and has the upper hand is just getting the shit beat out of him in a very comedic way. I love what stunt choreographer Eunice Huthart had done with it. It was awesome and wonderful.<\/p>\n

Levi, was it challenging looking at Hugh in that get up? Were you really afraid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PAN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Levi Miller:<\/strong> Yes, Blackbeard\u2019s character is very intimidating but Hugh is lovely. Blackbeard was played brilliantly. Challenging moments-wise, the most challenging day was the first day of filming where I was underwater for two days straight.<\/p>\n

The first day I didn\u2019t have the idea of the whole underwater part of\u00a0it. I had my eyes open for the movie the majority of the time\u00a0underwater and by the end of the day my eyes were just bulging out. My\u00a0eyes were very sore. Then the next day I learned to close my eyes\u00a0between takes.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

With so many roles to choose from, did the cast feel any pressure\u00a0playing these classic characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> I wanted some pressure to take the job.<\/p>\n

LM:<\/strong> No you didn\u2019t!<\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> I really wanted to work with Joe, but I also wanted to do a movie\u00a0my family could see where I\u2019m not taking my clothes off or getting\u00a0horribly abused by someone. I grew up loving fairytales and Peter Pan.\u00a0It was getting to go to work every day and not take yourself so\u00a0seriously and just play make believe. It was something really\u00a0different for me and it was something I really wanted and needed to\u00a0do.<\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> I\u2019m in complete agreement. I hadn\u2019t foreseen myself being in a\u00a0film like this until I met with Joe. Some of the material we focused\u00a0on Hook and the evil side of Hook that everyone knows and loves, and\u00a0it was quite dark material, but Joe would ask me to be goofier with it\u00a0and do a maniacal giggle. I was breaking through this barrier.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

You always feel like people are watching you all the time, so you try\u00a0to hold back and resist, but Joe wants the exact opposite, and I\u00a0hadn\u2019t really done a film like that before. To always be asked to be\u00a0bigger and larger than life, after each take of exercising these\u00a0aspects we\u2019d just die laughing in the room together. I think my laughs
\nwere as maniacal as he asked.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like Rooney said, you do these darker films and you\u2019re sitting in\u00a0the trailer and you\u2019re stressed, you\u2019re not eating, you\u2019re not\u00a0sleeping. Why not have an experience where you film a film and you\u00a0have fun? Our souls need that. It\u2019s refreshing, I never had that\u00a0before. We\u2019d have these long days and there are these massive sets
\nwhere they made a zeppelin and stuff and it conveyed the same\u00a0attitude.<\/p>\n

You saw all these kids and their faces light up when they\u2019re on set\u00a0and 200 extras dressed up as natives come onto the set and make it\u00a0their home and you see them loosening up and Joe would play music\u00a0between takes.<\/p>\n

Joe had worked with a lot of the crew members before and were familiar\u00a0with this to a degree and got into it immediately and everyone\u00a0loosened up. There\u2019d be 300 people dancing in the native village\u00a0between takes. This is what we do this for.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> I\u2019m glad you said that. It didn\u2019t feel as pressured as a lot of\u00a0these big movies usually do. And of course there\u2019s pressure, we\u2019re all\u00a0runners, even Levi, we all understand. It\u2019s a lot of money, it\u2019s a\u00a0beloved story.<\/p>\n

Joe just shouldered all that to leave us crew and actors to feel free\u00a0to play. I\u2019ve never been, but it was a little like what I imagine The\u00a0Burning Man Festival is like.<\/p>\n

The other thing I want to mention is Levi, because he\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s\u00a0his first film, and if there\u2019s ever going to be pressure, imagine\u00a0doing your first film and walking into that; the biggest set that had\u00a0ever been built in England. It was massive. But with Joe and Levi at\u00a0the helm it was fun, it was make believe, it felt like that.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

You couldn\u2019t act opposite of Levi without getting infected with that\u00a0sense of \u201ccan you believe we\u2019re getting to do this?\u201d This sense of\u00a0joy. That\u2019s what it was. I really take my hat off to these two guys,\u00a0particularly Joe.<\/p>\n

What did you pull from your own childhood for you to make this\u00a0image of Peter Pan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JF:<\/strong> My first childhood memory of the story was [the Steven Spielberg\u00a0film] Hook and then the Peter Pan animated film. So I had all these\u00a0ideas of what Peter Pan was like, but I really wanted to experience\u00a0what Neverland was like through Peter\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

There had been so many retellings of the story and takes on it, and I\u00a0wondered what it was like for an 11-year-old boy to get taken to a\u00a0world straight out of his imagination? Is it greater? Is it scarier?\u00a0More exciting?<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

That got me excited to create my own version of Peter Pan that was\u00a0organically connected to the one in the book, but also at a different\u00a0place in his life where it felt fresh and different and in some ways\u00a0the stakes were higher. He still hasn\u2019t figured out how to be Peter\u00a0Pan, how to fly, and Levi found a beautiful way of portraying that and\u00a0between Joe and Levi, they created a unique take on the character that\u00a0also felt true to the mythology.<\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> I just tried to put myself, my imagination, back in my 11-year-old\u00a0self and try to see the world through his eyes and that was quite an\u00a0exciting process for me. My 11-year-old self was filled with wonder\u00a0and excitement and magic and my teenage self came and stamped all over\u00a0that and told him to be quiet because it wasn\u2019t cool.<\/p>\n

It was lovely to return to the uncool me and not worry about that\u00a0stuff and create a world of color, excitement and joy. And fear as\u00a0well. It was a wonderful process for me, and feels, weirdly, like a\u00a0very personal film for that reason, despite this huge great production\u00a0juggernaut thing that surrounds it. It feels like a tender, small
\nfilm.<\/p>\n

What were you thinking about with the backlash over the alleged\u00a0whitewashing of Tiger Lily and people\u2019s preconceived notions of these\u00a0characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> When I first started considering the film and the world of\u00a0Neverland before considering Tiger Lily\u2019s casting, I thought about the\u00a0community she is part of, and I didn\u2019t want to make them one specific
\nnationality.<\/p>\n

The idea of Tiger Lily as Native American comes from Disney\u2019s cartoon,\u00a0not from Barrie\u2019s source material. Barrie is kind of non-specific\u00a0about Tiger Lily and her community\u2019s race, so I decided trying to make\u00a0the tribes and natives be native of planet Earth and indigenous of the\u00a0globe.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

That felt like a kind of opportunity then to have these people come\u00a0together to fight Blackbeard, who\u2019s the kind of colonial villain who\u00a0wants to overtake their land. Then when I got to thinking about Tiger\u00a0Lily\u2019s casting I thought I could cast her from anywhere.<\/p>\n

So I had a lovely time meeting actresses from India, and China, and\u00a0Japan, Africans, African Americans, Native Americans, First Nation\u00a0Australian and so forth.<\/p>\n

Tiger Lily is described as being a warrior princess and there\u2019s\u00a0something regal about Rooney and something scary about he too. She\u2019s\u00a0quite badass, you don\u2019t want to mess with her. Therefore she was the\u00a0greatest actress that had the qualities described in the screenplay\u00a0and that\u2019s why I cast her.<\/p>\n

I think people\u2019s concerns, which I fully understand, about the casting\u00a0of a caucasian actress in the role, are justified until they see the\u00a0movie. When people see the movie they\u2019ll understand what I\u2019m trying to\u00a0do.<\/p>\n

Rooney, you are in some very anticipated movies this year like\u00a0Carol, how does your performance compare in respect to these films?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> I have a hard time watching anything I\u2019m in until five years\u00a0later. I don\u2019t have good perspective on myself. I\u2019m super hard on\u00a0myself and critical and when I watch things I\u2019m in I only see the\u00a0things I wish I hadn\u2019t done. I\u2019m never pleased with myself until years\u00a0later, and then I\u2019m like \u201coh yeah, that\u2019s not bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Levi, what was it like to see yourself on the big screen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LM:<\/strong> It was weird. I liked it. I enjoyed the film of course, but it\u00a0was a weird feeling seeing myself on this gigantic screen and after\u00a0seven months of filming\u2026 I liked it.<\/p>\n

Rooney, What is it like working with young actors? In your earlier\u00a0film, Trash, you also worked with kids.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> I love it. A lot of people really don\u2019t like working with children\u00a0or younger kids. I also worked with two little girls on another film.\u00a0I really love it. Working with Levi was one of the great joys of\u00a0working on this film. He\u2019s so open and curious, and he has no cynicism\u00a0and made it so easy for us to come in and use our imaginations and\u00a0play make believe.<\/p>\n

I find working with children, they don\u2019t know how to lie yet, they\u2019re\u00a0just finding the truth in whatever they\u2019re doing, I get a lot out of\u00a0acting opposite of them. The experience acting in Trash was very\u00a0different from any other experience I had working with children\u00a0because there was a language barrier. I love it.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Tiger Lilly has a lot of really intense fight scenes. What do you\u00a0think about what girls would think seeing it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> For me it was a reason I wanted to do this film. Like I said, I\u00a0grew up loving fairy tales, but unfortunately in a lot of them the\u00a0female characters end up being some sort of victim or damsel in\u00a0distress and Tiger Lily wasn\u2019t like that at all. In some ways she was\u00a0more capable than the boys and she could fully take care of herself
\nand then some. I loved and appreciated that about the script.<\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> One of my favorite audience responses have been from girls coming\u00a0to see the movie and their favorite character is Tiger Lily. When\u00a0asked what they like about Tiger Lily they respond \u201cbecause she can do\u00a0anything.\u201d I\u2019m always trying to portray as strong and powerful and\u00a0those are the kind of women I like, so they\u2019re the kind of women I\u00a0like in my movie.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a brilliant idea of Jason\u2019s to make that final battle so much\u00a0about Tiger Lily and Blackbeard. I liked the fact that Peter is pretty\u00a0brave in what he does, especially when he goes to save Hook, but\u00a0Hook\u2019s pretty useless, really. I liked seeing Garrett beaten up, that\u00a0made me laugh, so it all worked out just fine.<\/p>\n

What was the thought process in writing her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JF:<\/strong> I like writing strong female characters. I grew up with a strong\u00a0Jewish mother who never accepted the first table given to her at any\u00a0restaurant. The Tiger Lily character, in every iteration I\u2019ve seen her\u00a0in, felt under-served. She\u2019s usually serving someone else\u2019s goal or\u00a0quest and reacting to events. So I was excited by the idea of a Tiger\u00a0Lily that was very in charge of her own destiny, who had a very clear\u00a0objective, and would do whatever was required to see it through.<\/p>\n

I think that Rooney\u2019s Tiger Lily is the bravest character throughout\u00a0the film. Peter is discovering bravery, he\u2019s discovering his courage.\u00a0When Peter is brave it\u2019s because he\u2019s having fun and doesn\u2019t think\u00a0before he acts.<\/p>\n

Tiger Lily is wise and knows the risk of what she\u2019s getting into and\u00a0still does what she feels she has to. So I was excited by that and by\u00a0having Rooney play the role because I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a lot of\u00a0actresses that can carry that role with such strength and physical\u00a0agility.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you do any research in handling the role of Peter Pan by look\u00a0at the work of any past actors who played him?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LM:<\/strong> This is an origin story, it\u2019s something that had never been seen\u00a0before. I had seen the Peter Pan films previous to Pan, but I didn\u2019t\u00a0re-watch them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s different. It\u2019s Peter, the boy who can\u2019t grow up, and who can\u00a0fly, but it\u2019s a new idea. It\u2019s him before he becomes Peter Pan so he\u00a0can be anything. He can be a boy who\u2019s living in an orphanage. I\u00a0discovered the boy through rehearsals.<\/p>\n

We had a sheet we wrote down the qualities of Peter on. He has all\u00a0these personalities. He\u2019s quite selfish. Even though he\u2019s the brave\u00a0hero of Neverland he\u2019s definitely selfish because what he\u2019s doing is\u00a0all for his own achievement at the end. Of course there\u2019s the sweet\u00a0thing of finding his mother, but it\u2019s for himself and I was excited to\u00a0play with that.<\/p>\n

Will there be another one?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a><\/p>\n

JF:<\/strong> I\u2019m hoping people respond well to this, I loved writing Neverland\u00a0and seeing where these characters go, and at the end of the film\u00a0there\u2019s a lot of the mythology left untold and unanswered questions\u00a0about Hook, so if we\u2019re lucky enough to have the opportunity to do\u00a0another there\u2019s a lot of stuff we\u2019d like to put between our film and\u00a0where Barrie\u2019s book picks up.<\/p>\n

And did anyone take anything from the set?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> I have Blackbeard\u2019s sword.<\/p>\n

HJ:<\/strong> I stole that earring with a pearl\u2026 for my wife.<\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> I took Levi\u2019s map. There\u2019s a part where Levi finds a map in a\u00a0crashed pirate ship and I thought it looked exciting.<\/p>\n

LM:<\/strong> I got to keep the pan pipe, which was awesome. That was a cool\u00a0thing to take.<\/p>\n

GH:<\/strong> I kept Tiger Lily\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n

JW:<\/strong> He wore it one day on set.<\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> We have a picture [chuckles].<\/p>\n
