Captain Hook
Captain Hook, Peter Pan, & Tinker Bell are the leading characters
of this years best fantasy adventure movie, Peter Pan.
For the first time, a boy - Jeremy Sumpter (Frailty) - stars in
the title role, opposite Jason Isaacs (The Patriot, Harry Potter
and the Chamber of Secrets) as Captain
Hook. The fairies will
twinkle and Neverland will fill you with wonder, but don't drop your
guard. The battle between Captain Hook and Peter Pan has never been
fought by enemies so evenly matched.
The story begins on
a chilly night in buttoned-up Edwardian London as Wendy Darling
mesmerizes her younger brothers with tales of
swordplay, swashbuckling and Captain
Hook, the legendary pirate who
fears nothing but a ticking clock. But a clock is ticking for Wendy,
too. Her father has decreed that it's time for her to grow up. After
tonight, no more stories. She's to be groomed for womanhood and marriage
by strict Aunt Millicent . Unknown to the Darlings,
Peter Pan loves Wendy's stories, too, and travels a great distance
to hear them. His appearance in their nursery that night, along with
a jealous little fairy called Tinker Bell , triggers
an awfully big adventure for Wendy and her brothers. Following him
out the window like a small flock of birds, the children swoop over
London 's moonlit rooftops, through a galaxy of radiant planets and
stars, to the magical Neverland, where they begin an exhilarating
new life free of grown-up rules with Peter and the Lost Boys in their
secret underground home. Confronting depraved pirates,
malicious mermaids, a monstrous crocodile and, worst of all, the
vicious steel claw dangling from Captain Hook's right arm, Wendy
and her brothers find out what they're made of.
