NBC will be airing a Live-Action Peter Pan. Possibly based on the Play. It will be starring Christopher Walken as Captain Hook! This is a must see!
I still have a VHS I recorded of a 1960 presentation with Mary Martin when it was dusted off for an 80's airing. "Who's the slimiest slime in the brook?" "Captain Hook! Captain Hook!"
Kristen Bell was in talks with them to be Peter Pan but she's busy with House of Lies and is pregnant now.
With Grace Jones (May Day) as Tinker Bell--or Adam Ant if you like. Imagine Shatner doing Brando--that's Walken. "I haven't killed anyone...since 1984..."
Live action!?!?! I don't know what to think about that. TBH, I have been a fan of the whole Peter Pan story since the movie Hook. For some reason I never cared for that movie.
"I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the hook to you."
There are probably few of us still around who remember seeing the Mary Martin versions when they were performed live and not videotaped.
