Live-action film 'Pan' made its world premiere in central London, as the leading cast dazzled the blue carpet crowds.

The X-men star Hugh Jackman shares the fun when dressed up in lavish costumes to play the legendary pirate Blackbeard.

"First of all it took me a while to put that costume on. But when we were going to the meetings we spent most of it laughing. I had an idea obviously of Blackbeard, I did research on him and he used to put incense sticks lit inside his beard so it looked like his face was on fire when he went into battle."

This adventure fantasy film is a remake of J. M. Barrie's beloved novel 'Peter Pan'.

It portrays an orphan discover his true destiny after spirited away to the fantastic world of Neverland, and finally becomes a hero by saving Neverland from the ruthless pirates.

However, as Tiger Lilly is always cast as a native Indian, director Joe Wright defends his decision on choosing Rooney Mara to perform this character.

"No , well in Barry's original book he's not really specific about her nationality. And as we were using the book as our reference, that gave me freedom to cast whoever I liked from wherever I liked. And then that allowed me to find the right actress regardless of race."

'Pan' is scheduled to be released in the US on October 9th and in UK on October 16th.
