Spielberg Admits He Was Insecure About 'Hook'

  • 6 years ago
Steven Spielberg felt like a "fish out of water" making 'Hook'. The 71-year-old legendary filmmaker helmed the 1991 'Peter Pan' spin-off movie starring the late Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts, but Spielberg - who has outspokenly told about his dislike for the film - admitted he didn't know what he was doing when he made the film. He told Empire Magazine: "I felt like a fish out of water making 'Hook'."I didn't have confidence in the script. I had confidence in the first act and I had confidence in the epilogue. I didn't have confidence in the body of it. I didn't quite know what I was doing and I tried to paint over my insecurity with production value. The more insecure I felt about it, the bigger and more colourful the sets became."
