Keira Knightley is to play the fairy Tinker Bell in a new Peter Pan prequel movie. The Pirates Of The Caribbean actress will voice the character in Neverland, which is to be screened in the summer. She joins a cast which already includes Anna Friel, Bob Hoskins and Charles Dance for the film, to be screened in two parts on Sky Movies Premiere HD later this year. She leads a colony of tree-dwelling spirits in the film, which imagines a world before JM Barrie’s classic tale begins. Keira will record her role shortly. Rhys Ifans plays Hook, the mentor of a gang of young pickpockets which includes Peter (Charlie Rowe), who steal a magical treasure which transports them to Neverland.
