Keira Knightley has joined the cast of Syfy’s four-hour live action television movie “Never Land” as the voice of Tinker Bell.

The film is a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s classic “Peter Pan” and is written and directed by Nick Willing.

Other cast members include Rhys Ifans, Anna Friel, Bob Hoskins Charles Dance, Raoul Trujillo and Charlie Rowe.

Knightly will record her role as the magical tree spirit this spring, with “Neverland” scheduled to air in December.

The synopsis of the film, provided by Syfy, is as follows:

Sweeping in time from the turbulent seas of the pirates of the Caribbean to the back alleys of Dickensian London to a world of pure imagination,
“Neverland” is the inspired origin story of one of the most cherished characters of all time… Peter Pan.
