With a long list of celebrity cameos to a history of musical numbers, these tidbits about Steven Spielberg’s 1991 classic Hook are surprising.
Released in 1991, Hook is the retelling of a classic children’s story with an all-star cast including Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Maggie Smith, but there are several wild facts about the production. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Williams stars as Peter Banning, an overworked lawyer who does not remember his past as Peter Pan until he’s whisked away to Neverland after Hoffman’s Captain Hook kidnaps his children.
9 Young Wendy Was One Of The First Roles For This Famous Face The Young Wendy Darling is portrayed in a flashback and was Gwyneth Paltrow. Young Wendy appears when Tinkerbell helps a grown Peter remember how he was brought to Neverland, met the Darlings, and how he chose to stay with the Banning family after falling in love with Wendy’s granddaughter. It’s a minor role, and Paltrow is a mere teenager but recognizable when paying attention.
Close’s pirate character is thrown into a wooden chest full of scorpions. Though the role is not as glamorous as Close’s Cruella de Vil, it’s a fun and unexpected cameo. Hook has a long list of famous cameos, but Close dressed as a pirate is the least obvious. 6 Hook Is Spielberg’s First Razzie Nomination Julia Roberts’ performance as Tinkerbell earned her a Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst supporting actress, marking the first time a role in a Spielberg film had received a Razzie nomination. However, Hook was nominated for five categories at the 64th Academy Awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Original.
Hook would be a very different movie if it were a musical. While Robin Williams and Hoffman have the personalities to pull off musical numbers, song and dance would change the movie's rhythm and interrupt more serious storylines, such as Peter’s son wanting to remain with Hook because Peter breaks promises. So removing the musical numbers was the best thing to happen to Hook.
3 The Mysterious Floating Couple Is Well Known George Lucas and Carrie Fisher cameo in Hook as a kissing couple on the bridge. When Tinkerbell is flying an adult Peter back to Neverland, pixie dust falls onto the duo on the bridge, which also causes them to float. Fisher has additional connections to Hook as she helped with Tinkerbell’s dialogue and some script doctoring. Lucas was given a cameo as a friend of Spielberg with connections to Fisher after Star Wars.
