MUMBAI: British filmmaker Joe Wright may soon be directing a Peter Pan movie for the Warner Bros. studio.

Wright has been known for his period pieces starring Keira Knightley, is in talks to direct the origin movie. Scripted by the Jason Fuchs, an actor-turned-writer who penned Ice Age: Continental Drift, the movie will be a take on the Peter Pan myth.

It is learned that Warner Bros is very high on the project and Sarah Schechter is overseeing and making it one of its priorities.

With this, Wright seems to be taking all the interesting choices — from romantic and tragic period dramas like Pride & Prejudice, Atonement and Anna Karenina to off-beat action movie Hanna.
