This week's Dream Cast Thursday is Peter Pan. The character originally appeared in The Little White Bird (1902) by J.M. Barrie. He then appeared in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1906), and finally in Peter and Wendy (later called Peter Pan and Wendy and finally called Peter Pan - 1911). There have been many adaptations, but when making my dream cast, I looked at Hook (1991) and Peter Pan (2003).
The first character that I recast was Peter. He has been played by Ryan Francis and Jeremy Sumpter. For my adaptation, I cast Asa Butterfield.
The second character that I recast was Wendy Darling. She has been played by Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel Hurd-Wood. For my adaptation, I cast Elle Fanning.
The third character that I recast was Captain Hook. He has been played by Dustin Hoffman and Jason Isaacs. For my adaptation, I cast Richard Armitage.
The last character that I recast was Tinkerbell. She has been played by Julia Roberts and Ludivine Sagnier. For my adaptation, I cast Cloe Mackie.
So what do you all think? What is your favorite adaptation? Who would be in your remake?

I'd prefer to see it done via motion-capture CGI. :)
Hook is a terrible sequel since it completely goes against the very nature of Pan ans has a ton of mistakes in it.
And I don't think you'll get a better Pan & Hook than Sumpter & Isaacs.
It's not film, but check out this continuation based on Barrie's own idea: Click!
BELIEVE!
hmmm...I think motion-capture CGI would be really cool. There is so much that could be shown. It would be the perfect way to create another world, but to keep a little reality in the mix.
I really liked Hook. I especially like all of the references to the original stories and all of the lines that make their way into the film.
