In an interview with Crave Online, Dante Basco who played the lost boys leader in ‘Hook’ is in the middle of developing a prequel to the movie about the character Rufio. Basco himself will not be reprising his old role but will be a producer and already locked down Rpin Suwannath to direct.
“Actually there’s a film in development, the Rufio film, where a hotshot group of kids from the East Coast graduated and they wrote this whole script, the prequel to Hook and it’s the Rufio story. We have it right now with a director, Rpin Suwannath who’s doing the new Zorro for Fox. He has the script and he’s attached to the film and I’m attached to produce so that’s actually in development right now which’ll be cool, a Rufio for a whole new generation.
The storyline is crazy actually. These guys have a whole storyline of how he gets the Mohawk. The whole story’s crazy. These guys came with the script, I’m like, “You guys wrote this?” Not only did they write this, they did the musical in their college. They were going to go off Broadway with it and then they lost their insurance and they came to Hollywood. If anyone saw their play it’s that, but the newer version is pretty intense. They added more action. I never saw the play but I think they added more backstory to Rufio, like how he became Rufio which I was impressed by. It’s in development”
Suwannath is a special effects previsualization specialist who worked on ‘X-Men’, ‘The Matrix’, ‘Superman Return’s and more. And if a studio does end up giving the film the green light it will be Suwannath’s directorial debut. A story about the mohawked Rufio does sound pretty darn sweet.
