So Nick Willing is writing/directing a Syfy original Peter Pan prequel and Blastr asked him why he’d chosen to add an original female character to the story. He responded and I made the following faces.

Well, I made her a girl ’cause there are too many men in this story.

I had to have a nice, sexy girl, but you know that’s really how it started.

Thanks for perpetuating the idea that purpose of a woman in a story is to be looked at, not characterized.

You let me know not to watch your movie.
