I made a trailer! I find making trailers hard (talk about cutting/killing your darlings), but Hook's 30th anniversary deserves one.

I hope you're still there, and reading this, I saw the original one, and yeah, it was good, but there might be some flaws, so your fanedit caught my attention, and I got excited.HOOK IS BACK! COMING TO YOUR SCREEN DECEMBER 8, 2021.
Thirty years to the day after its cinematic release, Hook returns in this fanedit revisit.

HOOK has enough flaws that it shouldn't work. But it does! The good parts pack enough emotional punch to carry the movie and it plucks my heart-strings every time.
This edit tackles the lack of focus:
- Is Peter a big-shot lawyer who lacks imagination, or an insecure accountant who is worried to offend other people's sensibilities? I know what the script says, but I honestly can't tell from Williams' performance.
- Is Hook a real and dangerous villain, a caricature of Disney's inept cartoon Hook, half of the "Hook & Smee" comedic duo, or a depressed old man? Is Hook a villain I should love to hate, or one I should pity? It feels a little of both, but a lot of neither.
- Spielberg is brilliant, but here he was distracted. Peter and Hook aren't the only uneven parts. He left in continuity errors (the kids' bedroom door has Hook's scratch, then doesn't, then does again), make-up mistakes (in two pick-up shots Thud Butt is clearly older), and odd time-management where some transitions take much longer than needed without pay-off, while others feel jumpy as if a cutaway shot was left out (the Mermaids under Hook's ship > Peter being hoisted up to the Lost Boys).
- At 2h21m the film feels too long. Going against the adage "show, don't tell", I posit that Hook shows too much. E.g. 2 1/2 minutes of Jack's baseball game and Peter in the office, while we needn't care about either, just about the fact that Peter misses the game.
Get ready to re-live your childhood memory! You'll believe a man can fly (No, not Superman. Peter Pan, of course!).
Front row seats are reserved for everyone who in the '90s saw the movie through Jack's eyes, and now, being dads ourselves, sees the movie through Peter's eyes.
When did you message? Lapis is here every day.is lapis molari hard to get ahold of? id like to see this but havent heard back......
That's not the best way to go about getting an artist to share their art with you. They worked very hard on that edit. Please continue to be patient. They will respond when they have time.ok 9 days later....still waiting for him or someone to hook me up, please.
I recently suffered a hard drive crash so no, I don't have it easily available. I may have it backed up to DVD-R somewhere, I'm currently going through my storage to try and recover some of my lost data. If it turns up, I'll let you know. (Also please private message me with any future edit enquiries, it's easier for me to keep track of requests there.)@recordwrangler95 is this true??
