From Jim HartThe initial idea for the 1991 Steven Spielberg film “Hook” came when screenwriter Jim Hart’s six-year-old son Jake asked him an innocent question one day: “What if Peter Pan grew up?” It was a few years later until the film got made and Jake, then 11, (pictured center, flanked by Robin Williams and Hart) got to be one of the Lost Boys. “He was in all of the battle scenes, trained with combat choreographers and played on that set all summer,” Hart told TheWrap of his son’s uncredited role — one that Spielberg personally offered to him.
