Peter's Awakening
Of course we all know the story of Peter Pan, a boy who never grew up, a resident of a magical and mythical island, inhabited by fairies, mermaids, pirates, indians, and a giant crocodile. Peter Pan is known for his child like play and the many battles against his arch enemy, Captain Hook.
In this coming of age story, Cinetorium's Universal Arc takes JM Barrie's classic character, and applies twist never before administered. As the magic of Cinetorium and Neverland come together, Peter Pan will face his scariest adventure yet... adolescence.
That's right, the boy who never grew up will now officially face growing up, as he faces the physical changes, challenges and emotions all boys go through during their transformation into adulthood. But its all for a good cause. You see, Peter Pan has been chosen by the Light to become Cinetorium's 'Child of the Light', not only a spirit of youth, adventure and imagination, but a beacon of hope to struggling adolescent boys. By facing these experiences himself, Peter can share the empathy and understanding of their struggles. Despite the challenges he faces as transitions into adolescence, he will remain a symbol of courage, resilience, and the power of staying true to one's self. As he preserves through the complexities of growing up, Peter serves as a reminder that childhood joys and dreams can be carried into adulthood.
​
Not only that, Peter Pan will be the key to bringing Jason Wingate's world of 'Magpie Gully' to life in the Physical Realm, extending the theme of the proposed Capital Branch and Studio Garden in the long term future. According to Cinetorium Lore, the magical essence and spirit of Peter Pan, embodied as the Child of the Light, possess enough power to transcend the boundaries between the Cinematic and Physical Realms. Through this, both cinematic and physical worlds can be manifested into one reality.
​
​Given the extensive scope and significance of the 'Peter's Awakening' story, which spans 10 chapters in the Universal Arc of the Founding Generation, it holds great potential to become Cinetorium's inaugural major feature film produced explicitly for theatrical release. This means that 'Peter's Awakening' could potentially be experienced in traditional cinemas worldwide. By generating revenue from the proposed film, these funds could be redirected towards developing the planned Magpie Gully theme park, allowing Peter Pan to have a substantial impact in bringing the theme park to life both within the story and in reality.
As JM Barrie's original stage play and novel have been in the public domain since 2007, is easy to presume that making Peter Pan part of Cinetorium's lore will not be a violation of copyright.
