Great Ormond Street Hospital has confirmed they will receive no money from Warner’s new “Pan” movie, despite being the copyright holders thanks to the author J M Barrie’s generous gift.

On their site they say the copyright is “enormously valuable – not only in financial terms but also as a symbol and icon – and has brought a fair amount of income to the hospital”.

Disney’s Peter Pan and Return to Neverland, Spielberg’s Hook, columbia Picture’s 2003 Peter Pan, and even Finding Neverland all paid proper dues for the use of the Peter Pan characters. Warner did not for the Pan movie.

They are using allusions to the characters to benefit from their popularity, but changed the story entirely. Edit: yes, this is technically LEGAL to do, but morally dubious./edit

So not only are they white-washing the Native Americans, they are also stealing from a children’s hospital.

BOYCOTT.

What? I was going to at least give it a watchh assuming the Hospital was still going to get their proper dues. Not cool…not that it could beat Hook anyways..

Wow news to me

Can someone provide me with the source
