Seth Rogen (pronounced /ˈroʊɡɪn/; born April 15, 1982) is a Canadian stand-up comedian, actor, producer, screenwriter, and voice artist. Rogen began his career doing stand-up comedy during his teen years, winning the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest in 1998. While still living in his native Vancouver, he landed a small part in Freaks and Geeks. Shortly after Rogen moved to Los Angeles for his role, Freaks and Geeks was canceled after one season due to poor ratings. He then got a part on the equally short-lived Undeclared, which also hired him as a staff writer.
After landing a job as a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show, for which Rogen and the other writers received an Emmy nomination, he was guided by film producer Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow's directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. After Rogen received critical praise for that performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatow's directorial feature films Knocked Up and Funny People. Rogen and his comedy partner Evan Goldberg co-wrote the films Superbad, Pineapple Express, and The Green Hornet. Rogen has done voice work for the films Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Paul. He married fellow screenwriter Lauren Miller in October 2011.
James Edward Franco (born April 19, 1978) is an American actor. His first prominent role was a lead part on the short-lived cult hit television program Freaks and Geeks; he later achieved recognition for playing the titular character in the TV biographical film James Dean (2001), for which he was awarded a Golden Globe Award. He achieved international fame with his portrayals of Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.
Franco has won or been nominated for a number of awards. He has done both dramatic and comedic work in projects and has appeared in an eclectic range of films since the 2000s, ranging from period to contemporary pieces, and from major Hollywood productions to less publicized indie films, as well as fantasy films to biopics and soap operas. Other notable films include Pineapple Express, a 2008 stoner comedy that earned him his second Golden Globes nomination; the 2008 Harvey Milk-biopic Milk; and Danny Boyle's 2010 drama film 127 Hours, about real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston's struggle to free his hand from a boulder. His performance in 127 Hours earned him nominations for many high-profile awards, including the Academy Awards, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In 2011, he starred opposite Andy Serkis in Rupert Wyatt's successful science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise. Since 2009, he has played a recurring role in the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital.

Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A mischievous boy who can fly and who never ages, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Indians, fairies, pirates, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside of Neverland. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie's works.
Peter Pan first appeared in a section of The Little White Bird, a 1902 novel written by Barrie for adults.
The character's best-known adventure debuted on 27 December 1904, in the stage play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. The play was adapted and expanded somewhat as a novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy (later as Peter Pan and Wendy, and still later as Peter Pan).
Following the highly successful debut of the 1904 play, Barrie's publishers, Hodder and Stoughton, extracted chapters 13–18 of The Little White Bird and republished them in 1906 under the title Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, with the addition of illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

Plot
Based on a book about an infamous real scandal in the Dutch crime scene, the film aims at exposing the horrors caused by corruption on both sides of the law. A rookie policeman is coerced into obtaining secret information from a childhood friend turned gangster. The childhood friend turns informant. But his revelations are hardly the most important "leaks" in the story. In fact, the new relationship between old friends goes all wrong, and the young policeman becomes increasingly involved in a deadly web of lies, crimes, treason, and revenge, all seemingly out of control.

Plot
This movie is based on a novel of Tiziano Sclavi, and it always reflects the "sclavian philosophy" diffused by the most succesful comics in Italy: Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian "dellamore" means "of love" and "dellamorte" means "of death"), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don't know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora...

Francesco Dellamore: Death, Death, Death, the whore.
Francesco Dellamorte: I'd give my life to be dead.
Francesco Dellamorte: You and I are both the same. We kill out of indifference, out of love sometimes, but never out of hate. Now I don't know who's dead or alive. I'm sick of killing. So I'm leaving the game, Brother.
Francesco Dellamorte: Hell, at a certain point in life, you realize you know more dead people than living.
Francesco Dellamorte: I can't forgive myself for having lied to you. I don't have a degree in biology. Never even finished high school. I haven't read more than two books in my whole life. One, never finished. And the other is the phone book.
Francesco Dellamorte: Past this tunnel is the rest of the world. What do you think the rest of the world looks like, Gnaghi? Can you imagine it?... You're right. It's beyond imagination.
[trying to console Gnaghi]::Francesco Dellamorte: Oh, come on, Gnaghi! You'll get over it, you'll see. Time passes. Nothing stays the same. It just gets worse! Ha ha ha. God, is it ever difficult trying to make you feel better...
Francesco Dellamorte: Death, death, death comes sweeping down, filthy death the leering clown, death on wings, death by surprise, failing evil from worldly eyes, death that spawns as life succumbs, while death and love, two kindred drums, beat the time till judgement day, an actor in a passion play, without beginning, without end, evermore, amen.

Haunting us until do you
Have to hide the lie now it takes me
So I have to go run as fast as I can
You're leading me on
Run go on and run will this consume me
The path that I have taken on this time
Well in time the question will linger
Haunting us until do you
Have to hide the lie now it takes me
So I have to go run as fast as I can
You're seething dead and gone
So I have to go run as fast as I can
Who will have to save me
Relax, release, in time we'll see
The stars that fall I pray and wish upon
In moments of distress
We're healing from this mess
So I have to go run as fast as I can
You're seething dead and gone
So I have to go run as fast as I can
Will you hear my ailing words
Will you be my everything
Swimming in reverie
I'm dreaming until
And it's clear, as clear as over
To me you're just a fairytale
When the waltz is over and the lovers die
You could be a lifesaver
Count to three you're stuck in me forever
Playing houses in boxes of memories
Counting starlight that pass us tonight
And it's clear, as clear as over
To me you're just a fairytale
When the waltz is over and the lovers die
You could be a lifesaver
Couldn't erase the love we had
Couldn't escape the songs we sang
Couldn't we make a space for us
And decide that space for us will burn
Don't say goodbye
Will you be always with me
I want to know the truth
Could you hear me
I'm dreaming until
And it's clear, as clear as over
To me you're just a fairytale
When the waltz is over and the lovers die
Watch out for the breaking hearts tonight
The world is coming to an end
Start believing from within, arise
But your systems made to blow
Thus we ignite coz'
The weight of the world is falling down
I'm wrapped around coz'
The weight of the world keeps pushing on
With too many too many lies too many faults together
So here we go
I take your hand you take my hand whenever
So here we go
A heaven is not far away
So here we go
This is the time and the day to be irie
So here we go
Couldn't we start a day
So here we go
Couldn't we start
Couldn't we start a day that makes us all smile
Make us smile
Too many broken...
Wings are clipped now we can't fly
So hold me back
Bring me back to life
There's a war coz' everyday we're losing everyday
Fight a war within us everyday
The battle's all around gotta hold our ground
Coz' everyday is different everyday

Understand as much as we can
As much as we can understand the love
We're high everywhere, we float in the air
Step to the farthest side of my dream
Be careful of what you might see
So careless inside I'm dying
Slowly
Sail into my wildest dream
Wrapped up like a little bum's shoelace
High strung but I am trying
Hopelessly
On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on
See through the hollowed eyes of my dream
Psycho traumatic hypnotic scene
A mountain of dust to ponder over
On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on
Well I'm blind
Reaction too late
I'm behind but catch me I'm moving on
And on...
On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on
Come hear Jah sound
Spreading good vibrations all over this town
Come right your wrong for better days
Yeah ai
Put love in you
