    Warner Bros. Wants Javier Bardem For 'Pan' Villain, Blackbeard

    DateSat, November 16, 2013

    Earlier this week it was announced director Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna) was in-talks to helm Warner Bros. new take on the Peter Pan story, Pan.

    Now, we get word that Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall) has been offered the lead villian role of Blackbeard, captain of the evil pirates who face-off against Peter Pan, the orphan boy taken to Neverland and raised among the natives.

    Even though we've seen the Peter Pan myth played out numerous times over the years - the most recent being 2003's Peter Pan, the best in my opinion being 1991's Hook - it can't hurt when you get a talented director like Wright to take on the project along with a great actor like Bardem as the antagonist.

    We'll keep you posted on this project.
