the guy who wrote the screenplay for the new one(name escapes me) had not seen the 69 version(only read the book) and said he was surprised how dark the original movie was when compared to his new version!
edit: SWEET! I knew it was that kid from Finding Neverland, and that makes it all the better because he's a kick ass little actor and cute as shit. http://imdb.com/name/nm0383603/
yea, he was the shit in finding neverland. weird high pitched voice, but of course he'll grow out of that. I'd love to see more of him. (much like that boy from billy elliot, but where the fuck did he go?)
