We chat with PeterPanAndWendy director David Lowery and star Jude Law about Hook and Peter Pan's origins, the adaptation process, and making Captain Hook a more sympathetic villain:
Peter Pan & Wendy follows the Darling siblings Wendy, John, and Michael as they go on an adventure in Neverland with Peter Pan, a boy who never grows up and can fly with the help of his fairy friend Tinkerbell. While in Neverland, they meet Peter Pan's friends, the Lost Boys, and Tiger Lily. They also face off against Peter Pan's greatest enemy, the terrifying Captain Hook and his band of bloodthirsty pirates.
Screen Rant spoke with director David Lowery and star Jude Law about their new Disney live-action adaptation, Peter Pan & Wendy. Lowery breaks down the adaptation process and explains what inspired the connection between Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Law explains what excited him about playing Captain Hook and infusing him with sympathy while making him menacing.
David, I think you did a tremendous job of grabbing stuff from the book and animated films, all while making stuff your own. Can you talk about the adaptation process and how you decided what to pull from the source material versus a new perspective? Even though it's from the original book, there were scenes in Hook that you just can't touch. There are scenes in the 2003 version of Peter Pan that you just can't touch. We're not going to do it better than that.
And you did a tremendous job with that. David, what inspired the past connection between Hook and Peter Pan?
