NBC’s days at the Television Critics Association summer press tour marked the return of familiar faces, several renewal announcements, and some news about “Peter Pan.”During his opening remarks and Q&A session, NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt announced that actor Christopher Walken has been cast as Captain Hook in the upcoming live version of the musical.
Following on the ratings success of last year’s “The Sound of Music,” NBC is prepping “Pan” for Dec. 4.
Although the actor/actress portraying the main role has yet to be announced, Greenblatt was excited for the casting of Walken who, in addition to his memorable roles in films like “Pulp Fiction” and “The Deer Hunter,” has also worked in musicals on Broadway. “I can guarantee you he’s going to bring his own spin to Captain Hook, and this might be the first tap dancing Captain Hook that you’ve ever seen,” said Greenblatt.
