Dante Basco, who played Rufio in the 1991 Peter Pan quasi-sequel Hook, has revealed plans produce a prequel, which would tell the story of Rufio, how he got to Neverland, how he got his eccentric look, etc.
The film, which will most likely be titled simply Rufio, will be an independent project that Basco will produce, but will not star in.
Rufio is one of the few characters in the Peter Pan universe who was completely made up for the film. Therefore, there's no set origin story that they'll have to follow. They're free to reinvent the character...again.
