During our Jason Isaacs interview, we not only discussed his latest project, be delved into his impressive and extensive filmography to which Peter Pan with Jeremy Sumpter came up. Isaacs talked about his experience making Peter Pan, playing Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, why the film bombed upon its initial release, why Peter Pan is a great movie, and why it has the staying power it does.

Some people were upset with Jason saying Hook was a seductive figure for Wendy’s transformation into womanhood. But think about it. Every young girl or boy has had a crush on an adult, which starts off innocent enough. But when they begin puberty, those feelings change into something deeper, which is all part of growing up and they talk about that in the 2003 movie. It’s not to say that Hook reciprocates those feelings because all he cares about is winning the battle and getting his revenge. It’s about what he symbolizes to Wendy, what her new beginning is.
I think it might also be the fact that Isaacs also plays Mr. Darling (as was tradition of the stage play), so it might send some wrong messages
I admit during my prepubescent- teen years I had a few mild crushes on fictional characters who ranged (or at least appeared) to be in their teens-twenties. Though my all real-life crushes were thankfully all close friends around my age group.
I think the thing which makes it all iffier is how it's a preteen with a middle-aged man who is old enough to be her father. Though at least this portrayed in the negative light of the whole stranger danger instinct and Wendy eventually choosing the innocence of childhood. Unlike most of those bad Wattpad "romances" teens seemingly like to write these days.
I’ve always felt a sexual tension with Hook and Wendy in this movie. Not that I agree with it, but I can understand it
Well, there was much more romantic tension between Wendy and Peter, but I don't think her feeling some atraction to Hook is weird. I think it's also because of her fascination with pirates. Canonically, Neverland appears different to every child, so perhaps the boys see Hook as ugly while Wendy finds him handsome. Hook was just luring her to betray Peter - in a somewhat creepy fashion but it's good that Wendy recognized this as bad.
I just recently watched the 2003 film for the first time. Why were people upset? I thought it was perfectly reasonable for Wendy to have a pubescent crush on an older man. I also don't think Hook would reciprocate those feelings until Wendy had actually matured into a woman. (Rachel Hurd-Wood grew up to be quite beautiful.)
Peter Pan (2003) is the best version of Peter Pan though, so it's such a bummer that when it was finally released that it didn't bode well for people. Also, just would like say Jason hit the entire meaning of Peter Pan so well. It's a coming of age story, for sure.
For me, it’s one of the best Peter Pan live action movies. The other is Pan (starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman) in my opinion.
@@jennikifm2 The Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman is Hook.
I was literally obsessed with Peter Pan 2003. I put fake trees around my living room and pretended to be the characters from the movie, and I would watch it over and over again. I still frequently watch it. I think it is such a masterpiece. I had no idea it didn't do as well as expected.
Omg where were you when I was a kid? I did the exact same thing and everyone thought I was weird, especially because I was so in love with Captain Hook
@@Amber417 All that matters is that we've found each other now. lol. That is too funny that you did the same thing. :)
I was so excited to see this movie when it was coming out, but I wasn't able to see it theatrically. I then went to Blockbuster with my mom to rent it, but because I was only 7 years old, the person at the counter pointed out the rating and said I was too young for it, so my mom decided not to rent it. I haven't seen the film to this day, and I'm still a little salty about that experience 😂
I enjoyed this movie. I wasn’t obsessed but I still enjoyed it. I miss the movie.
I want to see it again.
Love Jason Isaacs as Hook. If Disney remake Peter Pan as a live action movie, I hope they could get Jason to play Hook.
@@jennikifm2 Disney actually is filming a live action remake called "Peter Pan & Wendy" directed by David Lowery, who just directed The Green Knight, which I personally think is an interesting and exciting choice. Jude Law is playing Captain Hook, who I also think is a good choice.
Jason really pulled no punches when he said of Disney's Peter Pan that it was "made for toddlers"!! Still masses of respect to the man, and I'm glad he still stands by the 2003 film.
But the Disney version is really naive, so I agree with him
I love the Disney versions though, (I’m a kid at heart) as much as I love the 2003 movie and Pan. (90’s movie)
I actually grew up with this version as my teacher I watched it in Plasp. It originally freaked me out but I now like it as it's more faithful to the book than Disney.
P.S I just found out that this guy who played Captain Hook was the same guy who voiced Admiral Zhao from Avatar and I now can't get that image out my head. XD
@@earthbornparanian6252 It's amazing isn't it?! Zuko and Zhao's rivalry in Book 1 of Avatar is basically a rematch of Rufio vs Captain Hook. It also helps that Aang and Katara have a distinctly Peter Pan and Wendy vibe to them.
@@oscarstainton
Exactly. :)
James Newton Howard's Score for Peter Pan is a masterpiece.
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Omg yesssss!!!
I was a girl hitting puberty when this film came out and I fell in love with Peter Pan and the film. Jason Isaacs is right. This was the definitive Peter Pan for me. When I read the book, I was shocked that it was closer to the book than the snippets I've seen of the animated film. I wish this movie had given it's fair shake. It was the best movie of the year for me and is still one of my all-time favorite movies.
He's just brilliant. What I like about his interviews is that he always gives very clever answers and understands his characters SO WELL. What a man.
Still to this day, the 2003 Peter Pan is still my number 1 favourite film.
It was INSANE that they didn't push the release date forward. Putting it out one week before Return of the King (he says 2nd film, but 2003 was Return of the King) GUARANTEED no one was going to see it. If they'd just pushed it to April or May it would've been a huge summer blockbuster.
Jason is just enigmatic and magnetic in every role
The best live action Captain Hook. I especially love how terrified his crew is of him throughout the entire film
I was a young student working at a cinema part time when this film came out. When I was done with my shift I went to see it out of curiosity expecting that it might be too childish for me in my late teens at the time and I was so pleasantly surprised by it, it had so many layers to it and it did not talk down to kids. Also the child actors where all perfectly cast, in fact the entire casting was brilliant. I loved it so much that I saw it two more times in the cinema (Well, it was free for me but still.. haha) and to this day I consider it along with the 1993 version of "The Secret Garden" as one of the best children book adaptation. It's a really solid movie ! It is heartbreaking that people did not give it a chance at time of release and I experienced it directly while working at the cinema, the screens where often empty and after I saw it , it made me sad because I just knew how good it was and that people where missing out on a hidden gem because of the per-conceived idea they had about Peter Pan due to the Disney version .
I grew up watching the 2003 movie (I was 3 when it came out). When I saw the Disney movie (like 3 years later), I didn’t like it and I wanted to watch the other one instead. I rewatched it a few weeks ago and it’s still one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Jason Isaacs was absolutely amazing in his roles, it’s amazing how he can play two different roles so differently. I didn’t realize until I was about 12 that Father Darling and Captain Hook were played by the same people.
He’s absolutely correct in every way. It’s a moving film in so many ways. It IS exploring Wendy’s coming of age… Pan is a kid and Hook is a MAN. I was completely taken aback by how sexy he is in that film. Wendy is obviously intrigued by him in a pubescent female way. He only reciprocated as much as he could in an appropriate way (as in sexually) to get what he wanted to win over Pan…
The first time after watching this movie I ran to write a letter to Peter Pan, and I found fairy dust and a hand written reply from Peter himself! I did that often, sometimes leaving a book (the Chronicles of Narnia) for Peter to take with him to Neverland to read. To this day I still have the fairy dust in a velvet pouch and will always believe in Peter Pan.
Omg that's so lovely and wholesome!
It’s so strange to hear one of your favorite movies flopped over all, especially when you keep seeing so many people have the same love for it! Thank you to Universal for allowing this beautiful creation come to life!
It was critically loved but it tanked for one reason...The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King.
Peter Pan came out a week after Return Of The King was released and that film dominated the box office for weeks up till Oscar season. Peter Pan had no chance.
So true, I've never met a person my age (for whom the film was made) that didn't love this film. I was absolutely in love with Jeremy Sumpter and thought this was the deepest film ever made.
@@writerchick94 I was in love with Jason Isaacs 😂 granted I was 15 when it came out…
Shocked and so sad it did not do well. I took my son when he was 5 and we were both enthralled. Beautiful, fun, funny and embraced the exciting pirate spirit.
Best Captain Hook ever, seriously no one will ever top his performance.
Yeah. He’s my favorite. My second fav is Dustin Hoffman from Hook.
Now if Disney makes a live action remake of Peter Pan, I hope they can get Jason to play Captain James Hook.
@@jennikifm2 well if he returns he'll have to hook in his left hand
@@jennikifm2 well Richard is dead the actor who plays Mr Smee
@@jennikifm2 but Jason Isaac has Jim Gaffigan
@@jennikifm2 Yes the title is now called Peter Pan and Wendy
Very interesting viewpoint from Mr. Isaacs. I remember watching it when I was very young around the mid to late 2000s. Dont remember how good it was since I grew up with the Disney film. Maybe if I read the book then watch the 2003 movie again, maybe Jason's viewpoint of it being "The only Peter Pan movie ever made" will make more sense. Its like that double meaning joke about something related to literature/cinema you initially chuckle at that you don't get but when you look into it, it makes way more sense and therefore even funnier. I'll consider it.
He's the reason I'm in love with Captain Hook...also his pirate character is the reason older!Wendy x Hook fandom exists lmao❤
I love Hook/Wendy ship fandom! I have even written some. He was insanely sexy as Hook
@@linziRyan1965if he did a reprise his role as Captain Hook he will have the mustache for Mr Darling
I loved Peter Pan since my whole child of growing up all started with the cartoon movie before the live action reboot came along and I think all the movies were great Jason Isaacs was wonderful to portray Captain Hook and the 2003 film. One of my favorite villains of all time Captain James Hook and his ego against Peter Pan cutting off his hand. We see that for Captain Hook and it's frustrations for what happened what made him the captain and the hook. The best storytelling on the the Silver Screen. One of the best Hollywood Motion Picture films of Disney classics.
It baffles me that this movie was a flop considering how hot he was In it
Considering the fact that it came out at the same time as Return of the King, I'm not surprised. Plus, the trailers didn't do it justice. But, yes. The film rocks. The only thing that didn't age well was the CGI. Which is funny considering the vendors were ILM, Digital Domain & SPI.
Everytime I watch this movie I get obsessed and so invested in it. My man it was just such a good movie.
What a brilliant interview. This IS the best Peter Pan film ever made by far. love love love it.
This film meant so much to me as a young girl and still does!!
Great snippet! I really love his insight into that film! I also love how you actually let him speak and how you're listening to his answers! So many interviewers are just waiting for their turns to talk but you do a great job of making this feel like a real conversation! Will the full version of this interview be posted? (I love your other session with Jason Isaacs, I could watch you two talk for hours! 😋)
Thank you so much! It’s really been quite the privilege to be able to chat with him twice now. Absolutely delightful human. Full version will go live Monday!
@@FilmSpeak Awesome! I'm so excited to watch! YAY! Keep up the incredible work, you rock! 🤘💖🤗
I didn't know that it was a flop, it's one of my favorite movies and really like the themes in it
Here we are 20 years later. Happy 20th anniversary
I love Jason's insight about this film. It was the first film I remember watching in theatres when I was 4 and I continued watching it throughout my childhood, and he's completely right when talking about the feelings you get when reaching puberty. How suddenly Captain Hook went from being the funny and somewhat scary villain to a *very attractive man* whose relationship with Wendy fascinated me. I'm still not sure whether I feel comfortable with that tension just because Rachel was so young and it was kinda weird to (subtly) play it out on screen (even though they never had the intention of implying anything else from Hook's part). Idk it's just a movie that made a lot of 12-year-old girls pretty confused I'm sure lmao
I was 12 when I first watched this movie back in 2003. (I’m 30 this year)
And well, when I turned 13 in 2004, I didn’t even have those feelings. I wasn’t attracted to Jason as Hook.
Most of my teenage kid life, I didn’t have those feelings. Until I turned 18.
That movie is magical
This is a beautiful interview. I love this film so much, and Isaacs is just amazing as Hook and Mr. Darling.
Me encanta esta versión de Peter Pan. La vi cuando era niña y la recuerdo con mucho cariño. Gracias
I loved 2003's Peter Pan. When I was 3 4 5 6, had a crush on Wendy and wanted to never grow up. Now here I am 21 and... all grown up lol
XD I’m 30, and I’ve seen this movie when I was 11 or 12 back in 2003. Wonder what month this movie came out. 🤔
I didn’t have any crushes on anyone at that time back then.
I was 6 when it came out but I believe I first watched it when I was 10. I was crushing so hard on Peter Pan's actor lol
@@pear1ycur1y83 if you play George's darling and Captain Hook in the new live action Peter Pan he wear a Royal Navy outfit like Salazar and the hook is like the book skull rock the new live action Peter Pan is like the animation but not really I like the costume they're more like the animation
I was born 8 months before that mo ie was released that year. and the first time I watch it I was 9 or 10 years old and I’m 18 now that movie brings the child out of me so much
Wow that was such a good point, I remember watching it as a kid and like it, but rewatching it as a 12/13 year old and being enthralled in it and I never realized why exactly. But it genuinely did hit all these subconscious points for me as a girl just starting puberty, childhood ending and just starting to gain this attraction to men 😅 I was extremely attracted to Peter, but I also remember being secretly attracted to Captain Hook and wanting to keep that a secret because it felt wrong. Not only wrong bc of what people would have thought of me, but because admitting I had a crush on a man instead of a boy was like admitting I’m not a kid anymore I guess. Idrk I just know I was in looovee with that movie at 13 way more than I had loved it as a kid.
It's so disheartening that the movie didn't do well finantially. It's one of my favorite movies and the best adaptation of Peter Pan by far. I'm so thankful to everyone who brought Neverland and all the characters to life.
As a teenager, I definitely had a little crush on Captain Hook. Jason's version of Hook is hands down the best one out there.
I dont remember much of what was going on at the time the movie was released, but I remember I liked it. Hook was a very huge character for me and hot too boot.
That movie was so amazing though? When my dad brought it home for us as a kid we all were obsessed with it for forever!
Awesome vid!
I think the only reason the 2003 Peter Pan bomed is because it was released the same time as return of the king
Thank you for making my childhood magical Peter Pan and Harry Potter!
I literally burst out laughing when he said that she's attracted to hook cause she looks her dad CAUSE THIS IS SO TRUE
The Pink Cloud Scene in the theater was Amazing, the Whole Movie is a Masterpiece!!
It’s an incredibly sexual movie in an innocent way. Perfectly describes the age and the push/pull between growing up and staying young at the same time.
Whoever edited this video though 😙👌
They TRULY have abilities
@@FilmSpeak Disney doing live action Peter Pan movie
@@FilmSpeak Peter Pan is doing a live action Peter Pan and Wendy Disney the 1953 in the 1911 novel together
@@FilmSpeak I will go back to the past bring them when they were young to in 2022 to the future before they filmed Peter Pan and Wendy Disney live action
Anyone get the sense Jason has sat down and read shipper metas about Hook and Wendy from this movie? His talking points sound strangely familiar. Or maybe we just got them all from him and his "super clever answers" in the first place! 😂
There is something that Jason Isaacs can do for me one day if he is interested because when I look at his face now I see a very extraordinary person that I've grown up with since Harry Potter I remember the first time I saw him on screen was when he played Lucius Malfoy and I thought to myself that he would do well as the Warlock in the remake Warlock where he would make a wonderful Julian Sands successor but then I thought of something else what if fastest Blackwood from chilling Adventures of Sabrina has a brother and she wants to help Sabrina and her friends because unlike his brother he is a person who chooses to serve God by hunting down monsters and I want to use the movies such as Warlock and Van Helsing as The Inspirations towards blackwood's brother unlike his brother he does care about Humanity but he also believes that he can show Mercy towards those that are going through their struggles and the other reason why is because their ancestors were once an ally to the Spellman family during the 12th century when they fought against the son of the devil unfortunately that whole family was plagued as soon as Faustus was born and I'm trying to picture something where Matthew uses his magic to unleash faustus blackwood's greatest fear and his greatest fear is seeing the very ghost of his ancestors drag him down to the underworld and the person in front of those ghosts is Matthew and Sabrina
I don't know anyone who doesn't like the 2003 version of Peter Pan, it is the best rendition of the Peter Pan to exist
Lucius Malfoy actually like the original but he regretted to be involved of starring as Captain Hook and Wendy's Dad
It sounds like he's exaggerating about how much people liked it behind the scenes, but it really was that good.
I really liked how all the main characters are white people only which is of course how JM Barrie imagined it but this should go without saying.
This is timely and 2003 was only right before things went off the deep end with the ruination of movies and tv. Lucky movie.
What is timely is sadly they finally got to Peter Pan again so they can ruin it with lots of race and gender swapping and rewriting of the whole point of the book. Just stealing the name to make another activist movie in 2023 that has almost nothing to do with the original.
I saw this when I was 13, and let me tell you: I got feels that I’d never felt! 🥲 It’s so true what he said about pubescent-aged girls enjoying this movie! ✨
I was 11 or 12 when I watched the movie back in 2003. (Was born in March)
And I enjoyed the movie! I’m 30 now.
(Btw, did you know that some girls start puberty when they’re under 13? I didn’t. There are some girls that did.)
@@jennikifm2 my daughter is 11 and just started her period she’s been going through puberty since age 10
