Can he sing or does it not matter? I know he can dance. He was in a music video a while back.
Not only is Christopher Walken “Hook”, he’s also going to be King Louie.
The last time we had a live action Jungle Book movie was in 1994. [x]
Daily reminder: Colin wants JMo to refer to Hook as Emma's boyfriend #CaptainSwan

FULL OUAT SDCC panel.
There are no separate videos you have to view. This is the whole thing.
Except for the writer’s room behind the scenes part.

I created a pinterest board for Colin & Jen’s interviews at SDCC.
There’s not many up now but since today was the last day and people are traveling home this week, more interviews should pop up within the coming days.
I’m just going to repeat what Matt said: they have said. many times now, that he’s not coming back. He’s dead. Apart from the errant flashback, Neal Cassidy is gone. I know it’s hard to believe on a show where the dead don’t seem to stay dead when there are so many magical hand waving options, but that’s their stance and they appear to be sticking to it. Even the others actors are on board with that, like JMo at Oz Con. They might use the wand, sure. But it won’t be to bring Neal back. Emma’s entire speech to Rumple at the end of S3B, that you can’t take Neal’s supposedly heroic death away from him, was the writers telling the audience that yeah he’s gone. If you want to believe that there is a chance that Neal will come back before this show goes off air, most likely either after this season of 5, then please, by all means, do. But I think you’re putting a lot of faith in a convenient plot device that we may never see again–just like we’ve never seen so many one off plot devices–and a lot of faith in the writers who think that they’ve already told the story you’re proposing.
I agree with RG. I think the only times we will see Neal onwards is in flashback (like with Graham), and it only be when it’s relevant to the story.
I know it’s difficult to take death seriously on Once because we have seen characters come back from the dead (Rumple), but I appreciate how in the case of Neal, it’s more definitive.
I watched NBC Heroes from beginning to end and death was never taken seriously on that show. They always teased that a character would die each season, but then the writers would find a way to bring him or her back. Nathan Petrelli died five or six times within the span of the show before really dying before the show’s end.
Trust me, watching a character constantly being put into that type of situation repeatedly is wary on the viewer. Between that and Neal’s death, I’d prefer Neal’s death because there’s no roller coaster of emotions.
I hope that makes sense.
