...urge to awe is stridently encouraged by Finding Neverland, a fictionalized account of the inspiration for James M. Barrie's tale of a boy who soars through eternal adolescence and takes a family of London kids along for the ride. In this version, based on Allan Knee's 1998 play, Barrie (Johnny Depp) befriends the young sons of socialite Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet). While she grows ill from tuberculosis, Barrie spins a fantasy world; it is therapy for the boys and a spur to his theatrical creativity. The result: Peter Pan, which turns 100 next month...
High collars at Christian Lacroix, lots of lace at Louis Vuitton--there's no question that Edwardian style is a top trend for fall. And with Miramax's Finding Neverland--about the Edwardian-era playwright J.M. Barrie, who created Peter Pan--opening Oct. 22, the timing is perfect for a return to propriety. Costume designer Alexandra Byrne isn't surprised by the revival on the runways. "That period is meant to be really flattering and feminine," she says. Just don't overdose: a little frill goes a long...
...exception of the hair--as the charismatic, ambitious Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's Alexander. The Motorcycle Diaries features Gael Garcia Bernal as a carefree Guevara vrooming around South America on his hog, looking for fun but discovering the beginnings of his revolutionary destiny.

How about Liam Neeson in Kinsey as the curiously haunted sexologist who got us talking about our sexual lives and longings? There's a life...
...violation of the no-repeat principle, Depp has signed on for a Pirates of the Caribbean sequel. Otherwise, his choices remain abidingly idiosyncratic. He'll play J.M. Barrie in Neverland, which traces Barrie's inspiration for the Peter Pan story; he has a small part in a French-language film, Ils Se Marierent et Eurent Beaucoup d'Enfants, and in June he teams for the fourth time with director Tim Burton to begin work on a long-discussed remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "I hope it's going to be quite weird," says Depp. "Weird and wonderful...
Michael Mann has yet to strike out and he has Tom Cruise and Mark Ruffalo for the cabbie-in-peril thriller Collateral. The reliable Johnny Depp also tries for a second consecutive Academy nod in J.M. Barrie’s Neverland, as the titular author of Peter Pan. And finally, Michael Moore’s Bush-bashing documentary Fahrenheit 9-11 will sparkle as the Winged Migration of 2004. “Kerry/Moore 2004” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think...
