Directed by David Lowery (‘A Ghost Story’), ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ is a live action adaptation, so this time we have a cast for the beloved characters. Alexander Molony gives life to Peter Pan and Wendy Darling is played by Ever Anderson. However, the story acquires a more modern, more diverse, more reflective consciousness without leaving aside the fun. “Depth of characters” has been sought, according to its director. And there is no one with a better chance than the mythical villain of the story, Captain Hook who, not coincidentally, is played by the star of the film. Law one day makes you Dumbledore and another day Hook…

In the film, Hook continues to be the villain of the story, but his origin is reinterpreted. We have discussed all this with Jude Law, how his character has changed compared to the 1953 Disney animated classic and what should we think about when we see his new Hook. and Here we speak both of his name and, literally, of the hook. And it is that one of the keys to the character is how he uses his disability as a weapon. Yes indeed, it was difficult for Jude Law to put on the hook.

It’s hard. It is very hard. And it actually plays a big part in what I wear, how I look, and especially in the emphasis it places on the relationship between Captain and Smith. If you have one hand and a huge hook, you need someone to take care of you, to take care of you. And it was also important to me that the hook was a weapon. That we weaponize his disability and use it against the person who caused it.

Most children want to grow up as soon as possible, and most adults would like to go back to when we were children and never grow up. The beauty of Peter Pan is in reminding those children of the magic of childhood., the rebellion of something as important as resisting to grow, even in spirit. Therefore, we have also asked Law what is the key to Peter Pan’s appeal to so many generations of childrenand his idea of ​​not growing up.

That’s a very good question… I think it’s how he enjoys his perversity. Something about how he loves being a pirate. And he loves, although I think he is not very aware of it, the rivalry and this “game” that he has with Peter. Because even though it’s all very real, when you’re a kid you only enjoy games if you believe they’re real. That feeling of joy you have is attractive.
