Syfy: "Neverland" Begins Tonight

Before Peter met Wendy and before Hook became Captain, they first had to discover Neverland!

Neverland, a prequel to author J.M. Barrie's classic, Peter Pan, sweeps in time from the turbulent seas of the pirates of the Caribbean and the back alleys of Dickensian London to a world of pure imagination. The cast includes Rhys Ifans (Pirate Radio, Notting Hill) as James Hook, Oscar nominee Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins as Smee (who previously played the character in Steven Spielberg's feature, Hook), Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) and Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio) as one of literature's most cherished characters, Peter Pan.

Peter (Rowe), along with his pals of young pickpockets, have been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook (Ifans) to snatch a magical orb which transports them to another world - Neverland. Filled with white jungles and imposing cities formed out of trees created by Dr. Fludd (Dance) and inhabited by a colony of tree spirits led by Tinker Bell (Knightley), this mysterious realm welcomes unknown friends and enemies snatched from time. These include power-mad Elizabeth Bonny (Friel) and her band of 18th century pirates who search for the answer to eternal youth, a secret guarded by a Holy Man (Trujillo). As the fight to save this strange and beautiful world escalates, Peter and his crew consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up—right here in their new home called Neverland.

On tonight at 9(EST)/8(Central) on Syfy and tomorrow night.

  1. Sounds interesting...but I'm not sure if it's worthing ending my Syfy ban or not.

  3. Whoa This is quite a jump from our earlier batting around of Hollow Earth stuff in facebookland, and thanks for the heads-up, but if they can now only come up with a screen adaptation of a homicidal modern day Peter Pan from horror-fantasy artist, Brom's The Child Thief, that I'd camp out for on the sidewalk on opening week. Definitely.

  7. Yeah. Sometimes, I swear Josh is the dude version of me. I get him 100%. Love that guy! You'll have to see my posts I put up for the show. I'm known as being photoshop challenged and it really shows when I go to put Josh's head on the appropriate body for each episode.
