POTD: The Lost Boys From 'Hook' Reunite After 25 Years
For children of the 90s, there is a lot of love for Steven Spielberg's fantasy sequel Hook. The 1990 film was a legacyquel more than 20 years before they became all the rage in Hollywood. As someone who grew up on the movie, I'll be the first to admit that the film hasn't aged well, has plenty of flaws, but still holds a special place in my heart. And that sense of nostalgia is even stronger for the kids lucky enough to star alongside Robin Williams in it as The Lost Boys of Neverland.
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since Hook hit the big screen (or at least it will be this December), but in honor of the milestone anniversary, a company called 22 Vision (specializing in celebrating pop culture through viral content) rounded up all of The Lost Boys from Hook for a little reunion photoshoot, and it's probably one of the coolest things you'll see today.
Check out the Hook reunion photo after the jump.
Here's the image 22 Vision revealed showing the young cast then and now (via Facebook):

The photos feature Thomas Tulak ("Too Small"), James Madio ("Don't Ask"), Isaiah Robinson ("Pockets"), Raushan Hammond ("Thud Butt"), Ahmad Stoner ("No Nap"), Bo Gheorghe ("Noseminer"), Jasen Fisher ("Ace") and Dante Basco as Rufio.
Sadly, this image is missing the most important Lost Boy of them all, Robin Williams. It's officially been two years to the day since the Oscar-winning actor left this world behind, and it still feels like it was just yesterday. But all the actors were happy to get back together as a way to honor Robin Williams in his absence, almost as if he just went back home from Neverland again.
Along with this awesome reunion photo, some of the cast members recreated various shots from the movie, including the twins Bryan & Brett Willis ("Sooner" & "Later"). If you find yourself wanting to know more about the cast of Hook, you can watch this video:
You can get another glimpse from behind the scenes of the photoshoot with a little video and brief quotes from the actors over at Entertainment Tonight. Bangarang!
