Finding Neverland
"Finding Neverland" was originally scheduled to be released in the autumn of 2003. Columbia Pictures, which owned the film rights to Barrie's original play and was adapting it for cinema release the same year, refused to allow Miramax to use scenes from the play in "Finding Neverland" if it were released during the same year. Miramax agreed to delay the release in exchange for the rights to reproduce scenes from the stage production within the film. "Finding Neverland" opened in 2004, 100 years after Barrie's play opened.
