How far will your imagination take you?

James Matthew Barrie is a British playwright going through a rough patch in his career. His recent plays are no longer well received, and the failure of his play Little Mary leaves him without a clear project. He decides to write a new story, but he doesn't yet have an idea that convinces him. One day, in Kensington Gardens, he crosses paths with Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, a widow walking with her four sons: George, Jack, Peter and Michael. Barrie begins spending time with the boys, and their games spark ideas in him that he doesn't yet know where will lead. The film is directed by Marc Forster and stars Johnny Depp.

Trivia about Finding Neverland

Universal Pictures held the rights to Barrie's original play and was developing its own film adaptation. It refused to let Miramax use scenes from the play if its film came out the same year, so Miramax agreed to delay its release.
Freddie Highmore impressed Johnny Depp so much with his performance in this film that Depp recommended him to Tim Burton for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where he played Charlie Bucket.
A short sequence was filmed at Laredo Wild West Town in Kent, a Western-style town that appears in the fantasy games Barrie plays with the Llewelyn Davies brothers.
The Richmond Theatre, in Richmond upon Thames, stood in for the Duke of York's Theatre, where Peter Pan was first performed. The exterior scenes were filmed in Hyde Park, Brompton Cemetery and Kensington Gardens.
