Rachel Hurd-Wood has suggested that the Twilight series owes a debt to Peter Pan.
The British actress, who played Wendy Darling in the 2003 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic story, spoke to DS about Hollywood launching several Pan projects to compete with the Twilight saga.
"Well, I think Twilight is the new Peter Pan if we're going to look at a timeframe," she said.
Discussing the lasting appeal of Peter Pan, Hurd-Wood added: "It's an incredible story, it's timeless and it's classic and it's a story that's in everyone's hearts and minds. Everyone grows up with that story, so in that respect I suppose that's why people want to keep doing it.
"That and Twilight have that thing in common, there's that unrequited love or that love that can't be. I think that's prevalent today; it's going to be a timeless theme. I think that'll probably be why [Peter Pan] keeps coming back."
