"Author needed for Peter Pan sequel"

Great Ormond Street hospital were given the Copyright from JM Barrie for the Peter Pan story (including money from the Disney version and other merchandise), but this runs out in 2007.

So, the hospital are looking for a new Author to write a sequel to the story in order to carry on recieving royalties for the children's charity. Unfortunately, it's looking for established authors first and asking publishers for a list of names, but who knows? Perhaps someone here could come up with something...

and give up the tattered shreds of my dignity?

NEVER!

Peter Pan vs Aliens vs predator.

Oh yes.

Peter Pan is a pretty evil story already, what with being the tale of how a magical sprite tries to tempt children to leave their homes and stay with him in a faraway land where they will never change.

See, this is what just one brief introduction to media studies back in A Level did to me, the teacher was insane. Walt Disney was evil, oh yes....

Entertaining youth, opening there minds and making them interested in Literature - there is nothing more dignified.

I think, he was actually a little nutty/weird i mea hes being frozen he payed millions. So if they discover a way to bring him back to life they will. But i think he was quite a nasty person in his latter years. Again i have no idea where i got this from i just seem to know this, so dont quote me on it. Is quite funny though i think, you know with all the little innocent kids loving the films and disneyland and yet the creator was a little evil.

You're overlooking the adult film industry arent you?

Plus Dahl got me interested in literature - I never read Peter Pan.

Haha, although I can go one better:

Peter Pan Vs Aliens Vs Predator III: Return of Peter Pan Vs Aliens Vs Predator.


And on Walt Disney, the reason he started the whole animals thing was because as a child he was attacked by an owl which he went on to bludgeon to death. He felt bad. He wrote about animals. It won't bring back my pet owl, Walt!

Didn't Disney do a Peter Pan two already?

I may just write Hook up in book form and hope no one notices.

Yeah, Disney have already taken it upon themselves to do a sequel. It sucked really badly and I doubt it made much money.
