Initially, Miramax wouldn&#8217;t even consider German-born director Marc Forster for Finding Neverland. &#34;My agent called and said, &#8216;They don&#8217;t see the relationship between this and your dead-baby movie,&#8217;&#34; Forster later recalled, referring to his first feature film, Everything Put Together, a 2000 drama about a mother whose baby dies of sudden infant death syndrome. (Radha Mitchell, who plays Mary Barrie in Finding Neverland, has the lead in Everything Put Together.) Source: Newsweek.

Finding Neverland was originally scheduled to be released in the fall of 2003. However, Columbia Pictures had the rights to James M. Barrie&#8217;s play for their film version of Peter Pan (directed by P. J. Hogan), which was to be released in December 2003. 
Columbia refused to allow Miramax [...]]]></description>

Finding Neverland (2004)
Direction: Marc Forster
Screenplay: David Magee; from Allan Knee&#8217;s play The Man Who Was Peter Pan
Cast: Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Radha Mitchell, Julie Christie, Freddie Highmore, Dustin Hoffman, Joe Prospero, Ian Hart, Kelly Macdonald
&#160;

&#160;

 Back in 2001, German-born director Marc Forster brought a much welcome touch of non-Hollywood flavor to the independently made psychological drama Monster&#8217;s Ball. Besides the daring (if way overlong) sex scenes, that film imparted a refreshingly realistic atmosphere that was much enhanced by Forster&#8217;s minimalist touch.
As the title implies, Finding Neverland, also directed by Forster, and adapted by David Magee from Allan Knee&#8217;s play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, has absolutely nothing to do with reality, whether James M. Barrie&#8217;s or anyone else&#8217;s. Still, [...]]]></description>

Monster&#8217;s Ball (2001)
Director: Marc Forster
Screenplay: Milo Addica and Will Rokos
Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger, Peter Boyle, Sean Combs, Mos Def, Coronji Calhoun
&#160;


&#160;
In Monster&#8217;s Ball &#8212; the title refers to the macabre partying held the night before the execution of a death-row inmate &#8212;  first-time screenwriters Milo Addica and Will Rokos join forces with third-time feature-film director Marc Forster to create a motion picture  of powerful moments. Those range from the film&#8217;s dream-like introduction to an uncomfortable and surprisingly explicit sex scene. Other memorable sequences include the suicide of a young man in front of his stunned father, a  graphic electric chair execution, and the sight of a bereaved widow watching her son die in [...]]]></description>
