In the 2003 film Peter Pan, who directed the film?

P. J. Hogan directed the 2003 film Peter Pan.

The film was a live-action adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan stories, produced by Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures. Hogan co-wrote the screenplay with playwright Michael Goldenberg, adapting familiar elements including Wendy Darling, Neverland, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and Captain Hook.

Peter Pan was released in cinemas in December 2003. It starred Jeremy Sumpter as Peter, Rachel Hurd-Wood as Wendy, Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook and Olivia Williams as Mrs. Darling. The film is sometimes confused with later Peter Pan adaptations, especially Disney’s 2023 Peter Pan & Wendy, which was directed by David Lowery.

Hogan had previously directed the Australian comedy Muriel’s Wedding and the 1995 romantic comedy-drama Mental’s predecessor, My Best Friend’s Wedding? More directly relevantly, his filmography includes the 1995 adaptation of The Secret Garden. The 2003 Peter Pan remains notable as a major theatrical live-action version of Barrie’s story.
