UPDATED: The network also had gone out to Kristen Bell to star as Peter, but could not work out a deal due to the actress' commitment to Showtime's "House of Lies

NBC is going big for its upcoming live performance of Peter Pan

Oscar winner Christopher Walken will star as Captain Hook in NBC's follow-up to The Sound of Music, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt is expected to make the announcement during his session Sunday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour.

He will either be great or terrible in the role. It will be awesome to watch either way.

Dustin Hoffman was the best hook.

Why does it seem to be a requirement that Peter be played by a woman in all musical adaptations?

Can they not find a younger guy and rearrange the music to fit his voice?

He's always great on SNL. He is getting pretty old, though. I'm worried that he can't pull this live show off.

Am I really reading that right? Kristen Bell from Frozen, Veronica Mars, and forgetting Sarah Marshall. I was going to complain about Walken being Hook, but dear god, I know they used to do this in old time plays, but dear god.

Hamm or Wolverine would be a badass hook
