LONDON -- The U.K. Film Council, U.K. production banner Headline Pictures and BBC Films have united to secure the film and television rights to Peter Pan in Scarlet, the recently penned, officially sanctioned sequel to J.M. Barrie's classic children's tale Peter Pan, the companies announced Monday.
The decision to grant the consortium rights to Geraldine McCaughrean's Peter Pan In Scarlet was made by the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity Trustees.
The deal was brokered on behalf of GOSHCC by Charlotte Mann of the Rod Hall Agency Ltd. with the consortium members.
GOSHCC executive director Charles Denton said he couldn't be happier to be "partnering with Headline Pictures, U.K. Film Council and BBC Films in this exciting new development."
"We have no doubt that they will help to build on the ongoing success of Geraldine McCaughrean's brilliant sequel, which will continue to raise vital funds for GOSHCC in the way J.M. Barrie had intended when he gifted the copyright to 'Peter Pan' to the hospital," Denton said.
