The Lost Girls trailer: a different take on Peter Pan

Peter Pan is reinvented in a more predatorial style for The Lost Girls ā€“ and hereā€™s the trailer. Beyond the dreamy cinematography and spiralling piano score, thereā€™s something dark lurking at the heart of Altitudeā€™s upcoming reimagining of the Peter Pan story. Titled The Lost Girls, an ironic play on characters from JM Barrieā€™s 1911 book, the film looks set to follow four generations of females that have been seduced by the boy who never grew up. Weā€™ve seen this approach work well before with HG Wellsā€™ The Invisible Man, most notably in the 2020 film, (not to mention Kevin Bacon in 2000ā€™s Hollow Man,) where a literary character is reinvented as a gaslighting predator. Now it looks like its Peter Panā€™s turn, with the trailer presenting Pan as an intoxicating seducer who returns to haunt four generations of the same family. If that doesnā€™t sound interesting enough already for you, then itā€™s probably worth mentioning that you also get none other than Game Of Thronesā€™ Iain Glen as a modern take on Captain Hook as well. Weā€™re intrigued, and although we donā€™t have a confirmed UK release date yet, we know itā€™s coming to the UK in late spring. Our friends in the US are getting it in cinemas and on demand in mid-June. In the meantime, you can catch the trailer below. ā€” Thank you for visiting! If youā€™d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
