23rd February 2004	Andrew Holliday I doubt it in the special features it says that the directors wanted a rough character and they chose Hook because he was the hero of the film.
24th February 2004	Sheldon Hall Actually, as one of the contributors to that DVD, I've always thought that the reason Hook was selected as the bad boy was because his name made him sound like one (whereas Hitch sounds more comical than villainous or heroic). This is pure conjecture, mind you.
