Which is weird because, according to some of the insider reports, this version of Hook was clearly tailor made for Phoenix as he's supposed to be more like Jason Issacs' take from the 2003 movie in that he's more threatening and allegedly a bit insane. Unless they're re-writing the character to be more like the Hans Conried/Corey Burton version, I can't see this fitting Law. But who knows?Seems like Disney didn’t have enough money to pay for Phoenix and his cow ranch.
Not that I've got anything against Law, but a Joaquin Phoenix Hook would have been a sight to behold. For me, Dustin Hoffman is still the performance to beat for the character in any adaptation.Seems like Disney didn’t have enough money to pay for Phoenix and his cow ranch.
Phoenix just might not have been interested.......or he remembered he was in Brother Bear and had flashbacks as to how iffy that movie was.Not that I've got anything against Law, but a Joaquin Phoenix Hook would have been a sight to behold.

That movie really feels like a "One of these things is not like the other" on Phoenix's resume until you remember he was in SpaceCamp when he was a kid. I actually saw Brother Bear for the first time a few months ago. The movie isn't great but Phoenix is unsurprisingly good in it.Phoenix just might not have been interested.......or he remembered he was in Brother Bear and had flashbacks as to how iffy that movie was.
Erm, a baby taken from his parents in London in Victorian England...Casting a middle eastern boy as Pan is interesting. I guess where he comes from isn't pertinent to the story, although I'm having a little trouble picturing this kid in the classic outfit. Actually, the animated version was older/taller, so it might have more to do with that. Maybe he'll get a growth spurt between now and filming?
At the time, Phoenix took many commercial projects trying to distance himself from being “River’s Little Bro”. It wasn’t until his publicity stunt of a movie, aka the moment he lost his mind, did he start being more selective.That movie really feels like a "One of these things is not like the other" on Phoenix's resume until you remember he was in SpaceCamp when he was a kid.

Yes but even the mainstream projects he did back then were still more serious roles, like We Own the Night, Signs, and The Village. It's just funny to see a Disney movie in the middle of all that.At the time, Phoenix took many commercial projects trying to distance himself from being “River’s Little Bro”.

It blows my mind Joseph Gordon Levitt somehow got a leading role in a Disney movie (Treasure Planet). He was kinda a name but nowhere near where he is now.Doing voice work in a Disney flick was considered a big deal back then. Still kinda is.
Again? It's only five years last oneIt's probably time for an update.
Big name actors have rarely voiced the main leading roles in Disney movies. They often voice the comedic sidekick characters like Robin Williams as Genie, Eddie Murphy as Mushu or Dwayne Johnson as Maui. Aladdin really kickstarted that trend.It blows my mind Joseph Gordon Levitt somehow got a leading role in a Disney movie (Treasure Planet). He was kinda a name but nowhere near where he is now.
