Thoughts on Christopher Walken’s Captain Hook?

Whooooooo boy…. 😬 There’s a reason I don’t talk much about Walken’s Hook on this blog and that reason is that he might very well be my least favorite version of Hook. (Leaving aside Peter and the Starcatchers’ Black Stache, but they just totally missed the point of Hook there with their disgusting, bawdy, dense caricature of a man. Black Stache is not, never has been, and never will be Hook. But I digress.) Anyway, I have several problems with Walken’s Hook, some of which I think can just be chalked up to poor casting choice and some of which where the blame falls entirely on Walken’s performance.

First off, Walken has a VERY distinctive New York accent, which…just doesn’t work for Hook. Hook is supposed to sound like a posh English professor from London, not Rizzo the con man from Midnight Cowboy. True, people fake accents all the time in Hollywood, but Walken is one of those people who is immediately recognizable by his particular sound, so I don’t know why they would have chosen him to play ANY English character.

Second, Walken is too old for the role. Yes, Hook is supposed to be an adult who seems old to Peter, but typically, he is cast as someone who is maybe 30-40-ish. Some people headcanon him being a little younger at around his 20s while others (myself included) place him around 50-something. And it’s also true that other older actors have played Hook in the past. Cyril Ritchard was around 62 at the time he played Hook in the 1960 filmed version of the stage play. But Walken was 71 at the time he played the Hook. That’s like…grandpa age. And at least Ritchard’s Hook seemed to still be having fun. Walken’s Hook is just…lifeless…

And that’s another issue in and of itself… I don’t know what the deal was that day, but Walken’s game was off. I can accept a physically older Hook if he does the role well, but Walken was just…not into it at all. He was so…flat and emotionless. He didn’t seem intimidating or sympathetic or funny or…anything, really. He didn’t even seem too worried about the crocodile…just…sort of mildly concerned. And he kept forgetting and stumbling over his lines…multiple times. It was pretty obvious at some points that the other pirates—most notably Smee (played by Christian Borle, who also ironically played Black Stache on stage…) had to keep not-so-subtly reminding him what came next. Maybe he wasn’t feeling well that day and was on some heavy medication. Maybe he had experienced some personal tragedy that was distracting him. Or maybe he just had too much to drink. Whatever it was, he came off as being half asleep or drunk the entire time, and it was extremely off-putting. By the time the crocodile showed up near the end, I was like, “C’mon and put the guy out of his misery already! Please get him off the stage.” I think that’s the only time I’ve ever WANTED the crocodile to get Hook. That’s how bad it was.

So yeah…. Not a fan…

Every so often I think about the 2014 Peter Pan Live cutting "O My Mysterious Lady" (one of my favorite songs in that stupid musical) and replacing it with a blandly forgettable ballad for Wendy and get annoyed all over again.

Also taking "Distant Melody" away from Peter. It's the ONE moment of nuance for him in the show (That other ballad also sucked and I forgot about it til just now).

[andhumanslovedstories]

Excited to announce that the podcast episode we recorded today about a trans retelling of Peter Pan unfortunately somehow also has a significant portion that is just me describing true facts about the 2014 NBC live musical of Peter Pan, a production no one else on earth thinks about and that I think about every goddamn day

[citizenscreen]

On March 7, 1955 audiences saw Mary Martin soar as 'Peter Pan' live on television, a special episode of NBC’s “Producer’s Showcase”

[spade-riddles]

btw Peter Pan is traditionally performed by a woman

10/2024: DDLV Showcase Stream!

I actually thought that this was going to be in November, but this ended up being before the end of the new starpath after releasing Timon and Puumba! Now, I have my own thoughts about another paid story extension but let's get into it...

As I have said before, they do great marketing campaigns. They announced the event-then dropped a teaser video. It showed a new realm, which I predicted anyways. Then freebies in your mailbox (in game). Then showed that it would touch on the next free update, which should be Sally. Next teaser was what looked like to be environment designing tools? And then of course a look at the next DLC.

10/29 Live Stream Showcase:

So let's talk free updates:

Sew Delightful Update: November 4th, we get Sally from NBC. Her storyline seems good so far.

Ethereal Winter Starpath

Floating Island Counterpart: 4 to purchase with dreamlight to expand your valley

Decoration: 16 points of rotation instead of 4

Winter/Spring 2025: Jasmine and Aladdin join Jafar.

Spring 2025: Alice in Wonderland/Cheshire Cat

Summer 2025: Peter Pan

Codes:

DDVSOCKS2024

DDVBOWHB2024

DDVJJACKET2024

DLC: Storybook Vale

A new realm with 3 parts: The Bind, Mythopia, and Everafter

New characters: Malificent, Hades, Merida, Flynn Rider, TBD

2 Parts: Part 1-November 20, Part 2-Spring/Summer 2025

So for free stuff, Sally looks great and sounds like they did a great job on that one. Jasmine? Yes more girl power, Alice in Wonderland-that was disney too? LOL, and Peter Pan-FINALLY. Quality of life updates, pretty good. Star path, eh? DLC, it looks solid. They took feedback from the last one and it has some great source material. Not sure the cost but its looking pretty good so far. Who else caught the update live? Who is rewatching it?

Peter Pan and Wendy

This movie did not work. The structure and pacing were off and Peter was painted as a villain. I wanted more for Tiger Lily and Tinkerbelle was too nice. They kept the ending of the stage show, where the Darling family adopts the Lost Children. I liked the diversity of the cast. I would’ve liked to if Peter and James’s friendship/past were explored more in this version. My favorite versions of the story are the original Disney movie, the Mary Martin stage version, and the 2003 film. Certain changes need to be made since they are problematice, but I think that was done well with the NBC live version of Peter Pan.

‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ Review: Jude Law Keeps Us Hooked In This Live Action Disney Reboot Of The Classic Tale

The question you may be asking is ‘do we really need yet another take on Peter Pan? Ever since J.M. Barrie published his book “Peter And Wendy” in 1911 there have been countless film, TV, and stage versions of one stripe or another, starting with silents, and of course NBC’s live musical in the 50’s with Mary Martin, and later versions with Sandy Duncan, Cathy Rigby, and just a few years ago…

Day 5: Cyril Ritchard

This is the one in 1954 but also 1960. This version is very popular…don't get why.

More notes & links in Keep Reading.

Peter Pan (1954), directed by Jerome Robbins, is an authorized musical stage adaptation with music by Mark "Moose" Charlap and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh. Taking the opposite path of the 1950 adaptation, it was originally to have only a few incidental songs but evolved into a full Broadway musical with some new songs from composer Jule Styne and lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. This version became widely known as a vehicle for Mary Martin, who appeared in three television productions of this version and won a Best Musical Actress Tony Award for her performance as well as an Emmy when it was aired on television. Cyril Ritchard won a Tony as Captain Hook in the Broadway production opposite Martin and reprised the role in the first television production opposite her, and it is the role for which he has remained best known. Revivals featured television actress Sandy Duncan and gymnast Cathy Rigby as Peter. A 2014 TV version was broadcast by NBC as Peter Pan Live!

The red highlight will come up later.

Here is a video of one of the songs with Hook singing. Cringy…

That's from the 1960s.

So this version of Hook lost his mustache..damn it. He still has his hair though. He also has the hook on his right hand.

And here is a link to Spotify for you folks…
