Amanda Seyfried, Cara Delevingne join the cast of 'Pan'

LONDON, April 25 (UPI) -- Amanda Seyfried and Cara Delevingne have joined the cast of Pan.

The new film is based on the character Peter Pan, and is directed by Joe Wright (Atonement). Delevingne previously worked with Wright on his 2012 adaptation of Anna Karenina, and will receive a small part in Pan. Seyfried will star as the character Mary.
