Learn Who FIVE-O Booked As Danno!!
I am – Hercules!!
Scott Caan, who plays Turk Malloy in Steven Soderburgh’s “Ocean’s” movies, will step into the role of Dan Williams, a “Hawaii Five-0” detective made famous by Steve McGarrett’s episode-closing catchphrase “Book him, Danno.”
Caan’s movie resume includes also roles in “Enemy of the State,” “Varsity Blues,” “Boiler Room,” “Gone in Sixty Seconds,” “Into The Blue” and “Friends With Money.” He recurs on HBO’s “Entourage” as angry talent agent Scott Lavin.
Williams is the last major component of the classic “Five-0” team to be cast in the CBS pilot.
Alex O'Loughlin (“Moonlight,” “Three Rivers”) plays agency boss McGarrett, Daniel Dae Kim (“Lost”) plays Chin-Ho Kelly and the mountainous Kono Kalakaua has been reimagined as a skinny female detective, Kona Kalakaua, played by Grace Park (“Battlestar Galactica”).
Taryn Manning (“8 Mile,” “Sons of Anarchy”) is also in the cast as McGarrett’s kid sister, Mary Ann.

I just can't see him in a regular series.
-
First!
-
I hope the new one can live up to the old.
-
they have a long way to go prove that this a good idea and is worthy of watching. I mean look what happened with Night Stalker (shudder). Some things (like this and 'Rockford') are probably better off kept in the past where they belong, but I really hope they prove me wrong.
-
I liked it. Someone showed a lot of creativity. Thanks for sharing it.
-
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!
-
I'm liking some of these choices but what matters most is who is on the writing team.
-
That's even better than the TNG Hawaii 5-0 one
-
Carrie Anne Moss is also in the cast. She plays another gender-switch from the original series, the Governor.

Busey would of ruled!

Wait a second, there is an actress named Elsie Sniffen?
by redegiraahgnal
Anybody remember the character "Elsie Snuffin" from The West Wing? Now I'm curious.
-
Kayla Blake, born Elsie Mapuana Sniffen from IMDB.

A few thoughts:
1) The idea of dramatic pausing on the actors for the opening credits deserves all the relentless mocking the idea's received over the years:
2) Was that Gary Busey version for real?
3) The Star Trek mash-up was so cheesy it made me laugh. Very well put together. -
The Busey version was for real, working off memory. I never saw it, or any clips, but I seem to remember it was a Stephen J. Cannell production in the 90s, the pilot was filmed but not picked up by CBS. Also: Kam Fong (the original Chin Ho Kelly) reprised his role in this project, and purposely neglected to tell the producers his character had been killed off in the original series...something that caused a major problem. Again, working only off memory from all this. I also think Busey was playing a new head of Five-0, NOT McGarrett, and that James McArthur had a cameo as the governor. Someone will probably (Wiki) correct any errors I made.
-
Anyone know where we can see the entire Busey pilot?
-
Thanks, I found them. Was actually impressed with the updated theme & opening credits.
-
Hawaii Five-O: Miami, Hawaii Five-O: Las Vegas, Hawaii Five-O: Omaha, Nebraska
-
And we probably will.
But I'm going to be watching. -
At least for this week.
-
But then most of the original 5-0 cast were pretty wooden.
Moss makes sense as the governor- Hawaii has a female governor
off topic- the choice of Dylan McDemott Mulroney as Rockford still sucks -
good choice
-
as McGarrett's hair.
-
Re-do "Hawaiian Eye."

Years ago he sold a script for a tonne that was so awful I knew he'd be slammed down our throats like INSERT GAY COCK COMMENT HERE until he or everyone else dies. The guy is connected so just call the show The New Smash Hit already and get it over with.
-
I would hate to be his son.
Him and Gene Hackman, he scares me too.
I need a hug. -
there are enough good names involved in the show, that I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

Original theme music must be used (not the Gary Bussey era).

VERY MISLEADING!

Hmmmmmm...
I am a little leery of the re-booting of this much beloved 70ies cop show set in Hawaii!
I am going to take a wait and see type approach...I remember (vauguely) actually watching the original show when it aired on CBS back in the 70ies (My father had been stationed at Pearl, I was born at Trippler Naval Hospital and my family LOVED Hawaii and never stopped..even after relocating to the SF Bay Area).
I really became a fan of the original show after watching a lot of the episodes in syndication as I grew older...it is still a great cop show that ranks up there with Streets of San Francisco, Starsky & Hutch, 1 Adam 12, Dragnetm The Rookies and SWAT as far as I am concerned.
Let's hope the new series rocks and doesn;t suck Mondo-Coconut Balls! (One good thing to note? Grace Park is going to be in it? Sweet!! :) ) -

That Star Trek/Hawaii Five-O video is the weirdest thing I've ev
by margot_tenenbaum
Why would someone make that?
-
"That Star Trek/Hawaii Five-O video is the weirdest thing I've ever seen."
-
You can quote me. A lineup of terrible, past their prime (if they ever had one) actors, for a terrible, past its prime (if there ever was one) television show.
-
THis looks bad. I mean the lead needs to be tough. Caan cant act. I see a half season at best.
-
Celebrating the 51st State.
-
Just to piss off our Canadian friends.
-
We could probably just buy Baja California from a drug cartel.
-
Reminds me of the days when we said "Boomer's a chick?"
