No, we don't--We don't need a dozen Oz deconstructions about sister rivalry, but Universal just won't get around to making Wicked.dpippel said:It's the very premise of the film that's the problem for me, not the director. Do we really need yet ANOTHER movie about Peter Pan?
Well, only if someone can finally get it right!! The Barrie novel was often quite touching, but its ending was simultaneously wistful and absolutely heartbreaking. Had P.J. Hogan been permitted to release his 2003 film with the original ending (which now shows up only as a deleted sequence) it would have come very close to the spirit of the author. Instead, I am assuming a tepid test screening killed that idea because studios and filmmakers haven't the balls to stick with their convictions, and decided to dilute it with a much more conventional happy ending. .dpippel said:Do we really need yet ANOTHER movie about Peter Pan?
