bendaimmortal picked Yes.:
I mean, a live-action movie adaptation that isn't disneyfied and/or romanticised. Even the 2003 movie is guilty of that. (It borrowed a lot from Disney's animated version and made Peter & Wendy's relationship a two-way romance, and the mother-issue aspects are barely glanced over.)

I mean, a live-action movie adaptation where also Neverland isn't a sugar-coated fantasy land literally on another star but a primitive island here on Earth, but in another dimension (I suppose.)

I mean, a live-action movie adaptation where Peter Pan is played by an actual LITTLE BOY (something between ages 6 to 10) and not by a teenager. I tell you, my mind will probably blow if that ever happens. Yes, the movie ”Hook” has a little boy as Peter for like five seconds and without any lines either, but thus it doesn't count. I want a full-length feature film all about the book's storyline with an actual little boy Peter Pan.

So yeah. I really, really desire an actual novel-faithful live-action movie adaptation. The book deserves it. I'm just about sick of Disney and teenage Peter Pan. Hasn't it already taken enough space in the fandom? -.-

I do realise that movie adaptations can never be 100% the novel, but if we're honest – none currently existing gets even close. As even the 2003 adaptation which is by far the best – is way too romanticised and disneyfied, and has a teenager as Peter Pan, and glances over the mother-stuff which is the very core of the book and Peter Pan's character. I still love the 2003 movie, though – but it's just not enough for me as a Peter Pan fan.

They'd have to make some things up that weren't specified in the book (Peter's hair color, for example). But I'd probably see it if it they made one, though
