Steven Spielberg's Hook: 35th Anniversary 4K Steelbook Is Up for Preorder

Steven Spielberg's 1991 film Hook, a tale of a grown-up Peter Pan, is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Sony is offering a new 4K steelbook edition for pre-order, available for $39.99 on Amazon, set to release on November 17. The steelbook, reminiscent of the 1992 VHS cover art, includes two brand new bonus features in full 4K resolution.

The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith, and Bob Hoskins. Despite having some detractors, the film holds a special place in the hearts of its young audience, like the author, who adored it as a child and shared it with their own children. The special features on the disk include a fascinating hour-long documentary, "HOOK NEVER, NEVER ENDING," showcasing behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the film's stars and crew, as well as a collection of archival footage titled "BANGARANG!" featuring deleted scenes and the theatrical trailer.
