I get inspired to write about things I like, and I REALLY liked the PAN movie party hosted by Warner Brothers Studios that I attended this afternoon!
After getting a quick sneak peek of five scenes from the upcoming movie, PAN, introduced by Director Joe Wright and the film’s star, Levi Miller, we went up to the rooftop of the London West Hollywood Hotel for a nice day party!
But, before we get to those fun festivities… let's go over the SIX THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT THE UPCOMING MOVIE, PAN, from today’s footage! (Other than the huge fact that PAN is a prequel story to all of the characters we know, and love, from the other films based on the flying kid in green from the Netherlands.)
1. Hugh Jackman plays Blackbeard, a pirate. Apparently, it had been Hugh’s lifelong dream to play a pirate! I’ll have to find out why if and when I interview him in September! Since Hugh has a huge theater background, the director knew he could handle the larger than life scenes. The first scene he is in shows Hugh leading an insanely large amount of people with a super over-the-top, but great, dramatic performance. Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors to interview, so I can’t wait to see him as the villain!

2. Another one of my favorite actors in Hollywood, (an actress, actually) Amanda Seyfried, has a presence in the film… but you won't see her face a lot throughout. She plays Mary, Peter [Pan]’s mom.
3. Australian newcomer Levi Miller plays Peter Pan who is basically the chosen one, currently in an orphanage ran by awful nuns and is the hero of the story.
4. Garret Hedlund plays a young Hook, and he’s friends with Peter!!
5. Rooney Mara, who plays Tiger Lily, has a crazy colorful costume with a very LARGE headdress, which apparently was even bigger originally but had to be scaled down!!

6. There are ships that fly in the sky. Rooney Mara and Hugh Jackman have a super intense fight sequence on the flying ships! Speaking of fight sequences, one takes place completely on a trampoline!
Now, to the super fun part of the day… the party. It was extremely well put together. At its entrance was a cross between a circus tent and a teepee. It was freakin’ awesome.
As I walked through, I then hit the open bar with an already poured wine glass waiting for me. Perfection.
The next stop was a dessert bar, followed by a candy bar! The candy bar was fun because I was able to make my own bag of goodies, including a pan necklace. The very necklace that Levi’s character, Peter, wears in the movie!

The food bar was amazing. They had the best fish and chips I think I've ever had. In fact, I hope it's a London West Hollywood Hotel original, because I will go back just for that. I wanted to eat like 10 of them!
The party had super colorful outdoor furniture and lots of umbrellas to provide shade for the super hot day. I hung out with all of my fellow reporters and friends who are currently in town for another movie this weekend.

One of my favorite Warner Bros. ladies, Loraine Valverde, brought Levi Miller over to me so I could meet him. He's on my Snapchat!! I may, or may not, have accidentally mistaken his personal publicist for the director, but that's only because I had never met Joe Wright before so I didn't know what he looked like! (and because in the theater beforehand, I was sitting all the way in the back and I am nearsighted.) See the video from my snapchat below.

Before leaving the party, I met the writer, Jason Fuchs. He was so cool, we already have a sit-down interview planned for Made in Hollywood: Teen Edition! Jason is currently working on the Wonder Woman screenplay so I, obviously, attempted to pitch myself as a future superhero a.k.a. Cindy Noon a.k.a. Silk!
Let’s just say, I will definitely be campaigning for him to work on that film.
Yes, I know that Wonder Woman is DC and Silk is Marvel. Calm down people.
Oh yeah, I also finally met the real director Joe Wright and if you think I told him about how I pretty much couldn’t recognize him in a crowd, then you are absolutely right.
That’s it, ladies and gentlemen! Check out my Snapchat – KylieEricaMar. Moments from the party that I captured will only be up for another 15 hours!!
