Finding Neverland

I just found out that J.M. Barrie's Neverland has just been retitled to Finding Neverland. It won't come out till October 2004. And I have reason to believe it won't arrive here in the Philippines during that time. It supposedly has plenty of historical inaccuracies as it is based on a play that highly fictionalized Barrie's life, The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee. But I'm still excited. Why? Well, because it's about James Matthew Barrie, creator of Peter Pan. And because this year marks the 100 years anniversary of Peter Pan. Hogan's Peter Pan, the live-action movie starring Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and Jason Isaacs released last year that bombed at the box-office should have been released this year. This year would have been more appropriate. And there's no Return of the King to clobber it. It was an excellent movie though. I'll never understand why it wasn't a hit.
