Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I thought you meant a Peter Pan remake, but then I read the article. Rufio was an awful character in Hook and a movie about him would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Maybe we can get a mashup wherein Rufio, Boss Nass, and Deuce Bigelow all go on a road trip, or some bullshit like that and are menaced by the cast of Battlefield Earth. Fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Why can't they leave old movies well alone? Hook certainly does not need a sequel/prequel/what ever kind of film they might be planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think Dante Basco is just upset his turn as Rufio didn't spark his major motion picture career the way he wanted.Adam Lambert would play a much better Rufio than Dante Basco at this point. It's all about the eyeliner. Rufio draws his special powers from his eyeliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the subject of the most important part of Hook's fanarts. A lot of people try to make his costume for Halloween or for conventions. Rufio is popular.And Hook is not the least-liked movie of Spielberg. Hook is a classic, all childs who discovered Hook grew up and they got some inspirations from that. (For example, Pogo and his remix and recently, Skrillex).And this movie could be a good hope to see more things on Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there will not be a prequel to it just because the douche who played Rufio wants there to be one; that's not how the business works, thankfully. (Imagine that: being thankful for the way Hollywood works... Oh well, it had to happen eventually.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 There's already a "Hook" prequel; it's called "Peter Pan".P.s., isn't that the guy who played Rufio at the beginning of "Jurassic ParK"? He's in the shots of the workmen waiting for the 'raptor to arrive, isn't he, or am I seeing things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
