Wow, not that anyone asked you or even cares but I guess that means you've never seen "The Deer Hunter", or "Hairspray" or "Pennies From Heaven", "The Anderson Tapes", "Communion", "Pulp Fiction" or the other ninety so movies he's made. Too bad for you.

VERY surprised that they have not stunt-cast this!

I mean, I don't necessarily consider Allison Williams a big celebrity with a large fanbase. Same goes for Christopher Walken. Carrie Underwood was cast to appeal to the teen/tween fanbase.

Peter Pan this year does not have that. This is going to be mainly sold as "Peter Pan: The Live Musical Family Extravaganza" or whatever...

Also, about the Islanders. I think for this production, instead of causing a controversy about the Indians. They are just going to be Natives of Neverland. That way they can shy away from stereotypes and cast as they please.

It seems almost a reference to Starcatcher, in which the Indians of Neverland are an Indian-like tribal culture gleaned from multicultural tribal elements- bits of the traditional "Red Indian" tropes with big helpings of African Tribe and hints of ronin and samurai as well.

I like that font better than the one they had before even though it's essentially a cleaned up version of the logo Rigby used. Walken looks perfectly creepy and Williams looks like a teenage boy so mission accomplished.

The poster looks great, hopefully the final product will be just as good.

I really like the poster and it suits whatever tone the special will be going for. Now is it just me or does Walken look younger as Hook? Has anyone noticed that?

Had no idea this was happening in December, for some reason thought this was being aired next year.

@amoni2: Obviously YOU CARE enough to let it bother you that I don't care to see anything that Christopher Walken is in...and no, it's not too bad for me because it's my choice.

There are countless pages dedicated to trends in film posters. They are all pretty much variations on a theme, and none of them are original any more. Check this one out for an example:

The commercial I saw last night did not make it seem like a musical at all. Even before they started showing footage of The Sound of Music, you could tell it was going to be one.

She didn’t have to audition.

It’s unheard of that a TV actress who had never done a live Broadway musical was given the lead in “Peter Pan Live!,” NBC’s production of the Mary Martin musical airing Dec. 4.

But Allison Williams has that kind of luck.

This is supposed to endear us to her?

I think I saw about 5 promos (all the same I think) for it, last night on The Voice.

I always get excited seeing the sets and costumes for this. I have high hopes!

^And as a bonus, she is playing the Narrator as well. After seeing the footage of the rehearsals on ET, I think the flying element will be done amazingly well.

It's not like Carrie Underwood had to audition. NBC is obviously just interested in attracting big names for the main roles--they're not going to make them audition, I imagine they're begging the actors to be on the show. I also can't imagine she was the first person asked though maybe I'm wrong.

I hadn't heard that the full cast had basically been decided upon, so it was nice to see it reported in that Playbill article about Minnie Driver joining the cast as Adult Wendy/The Narrator.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm seriously excited for this thing. It's going to be interesting to see what they do with the material, particularly since it's been 14 years since the show was last broadcast on television in any capacity.

Here is the song list per the Peter Pan Live study guide. It's divided into 10 acts to allot time for the commercials:

Unless I'm missing something it would appear as if Ugg A Wugg has been jettisoned entirely.

Too bad. The version used in the Rigby productions was a huge showstopper.

The "acts" mean commercials, I'm guessing. Super excited for this! Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby, was my first musical.
