Finding Neverland

Director Marc Forster’s follow-up to Monsters Ball is a tale of magic and fantasy set in turn-of-the-century London, and based on the life of James Barrie, author of Peter Pan. Johnny Depp stars as J.M. Barrie, a kind of Toys ‘R’ Us man-child who befriends Kate Winslet’s four fatherless boys and relives his lost youth, imagining life as he wants it to be. Depp himself doesn’t cotton to the Peter Pan complex, having said in interviews that he enjoys growing old. Of course, though, he’s aging in a way that only the sexiest man alive can do. We’ll keep watching, that’s for sure. Also bumping this way up on our must-see list are roles featuring Julie Christie (unforgettable in Afterglow) and Dustin Hoffman, who’s going great guns lately.
