Overview
- Paramount has assembled an early creative package for a Hawaii Five-O theatrical film with Destin Daniel Cretton set to develop and direct.
- Chris Bremner is reported to be writing the screenplay and Noah Oppenheim and Guymon Casady are attached as producers through Entertainment 360.
- The project is in initial development with no plot, cast or production dates announced and the studio declined to comment.
- The package was presented with involvement from the Leonard Freeman estate, a key step after decades of failed efforts blocked by rights fights that prevented earlier movie versions.
- Cretton’s heavy schedule on other tentpoles creates timing uncertainty for the film but his blockbuster track record increases the chance Paramount will back a major, Hawaii‑shot production that could bring local jobs and tourism benefits.
