Quote from Lucy Fisher, the producer, regarding the casting of Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook/Mr. Darling:

Although some moviegoers may know him as Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,

the actor playing the villainous Captain Hook was another easy pick.

Isaacs was discovered right in Fisher's own backyard, figuratively speaking.

"He's a wonderful actor." she enthuses. " I know him from The Patriot, which he did for Columbia.

He was also in Black Hawk Down, which was a Revolution movie.

So he won our attention in those pictures.

We wanted someone who could straddle the ferocity of Hook and the temerity of Mr. Darling."

Continuing a tradition long established in Peter Pan stage production, Isaacs plays both roles,

the piratical nemesis and the fond father.
