Fans of the 2003 movie Peter Pan, look away now, as star Jason Isaacs has revealed some pretty shocking truths about a movie that is often regarded as one of the most nostalgic childhood films from the 00s.
Whilst discussing his time on The White Lotus, Isaacs said he advised his younger co-stars to never "over-invest" in a project. This is something Isaacs learned whilst playing Captain Hook in PJ Hoban’s reimagining of Peter Pan.
"It was a big, expensive production with multiple studios. We filmed for 14 months. The film tanked," Isaacs told Vulture. "I think it’s a masterpiece, but people looked at the poster and went, 'Oh, fuck it. I’ve seen Hook with Robin Williams, and I’ve seen the cartoon. Why do I need to see another one?'"
Issacs believes that his involvement in the movie hurt his career immensely. "It was a catastrophe professionally for me, a huge fall from grace. I couldn’t get a walk-on role. And I changed my agent, and I almost changed my job, frankly, because I didn’t think I’d work again," said the star. "The lowest I’ve ever been was after Peter Pan. I was really in despair but not as bad as I would have been had I believed any of the bullshit that had been whispered in my ear."
