The search for Peter Pan has got underway as Warner Bros are holding a casting call.

Instead of picking a well known young actor for the role, director Joe Wright is looking for an aspiring 11-13 year old to take on the part.

Wright is back in the director's chair for the first time since Anna Karenina for the re-working of the J.M. Barrie novel Peter Pan.

The film will look into the origins of Pan, an orphan who is taken to the magical world of Neverland where he goes into battle against the evil pirates and becomes a hero among the natives.

Hugh Jackman is already on board the film to play Captain Blackbeard, while Garret Hedlund will take on the role of Captain Hook.

Auditions for the legendary boy who never grows up will be held on February 23 at London's Wembley Arena.

Filming is set to get underway later this year, ahead of the June 26th 2015 release.
