Destin Daniel Cretton could be ready to make a splash with Hawaii Five-O.
The filmmaker, who is coming off the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is developing a feature take on the classic television property at Paramount Pictures, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Still in early stages, this potential big-screen package has set Chris Bremner and Noah Oppenheim to pen the screenplay. Guymon Casady is producing and spearheaded the project with the estate of original series creator Leonard Freeman.
Hawaii Five-O debuted on CBS in 1968 and ran for 12 seasons, with the police drama starring Jack Lord as Detective Captain Steve McGarrett as he solved crimes in Hawaii. Freeman created the series that was known for the lead character’s catchphrase, “Book ’em, Danno.”
CBS rebooted the property with Hawaii Five-0, a police procedural starring Alex O’Loughlin as Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Scott Caan as Detective Sergeant Danny Williams, aka Danno. Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park were also original castmembers on the series that launched in 2010 and ran for 10 seasons.
Cretton, also known for helming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is next set to direct the live-action Naruto movie for Lionsgate. THR previously reported that Charles Melton was in talks for a key role.
More to come.
