Overview
- Paramount is developing a feature adaptation of the 1968 CBS series Hawaii Five‑O with Destin Daniel Cretton set to develop and likely direct.
- Industry reports say Chris Bremner will write the script and Noah Oppenheim will produce, with Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and the Leonard Freeman estate helping assemble the package.
- The initial report was published on Thursday and has been corroborated by multiple outlets, but Paramount has not issued a comment and no deal terms have been confirmed.
- The project is in very early stages with no announced plot, cast, production timeline, or release date, and prior decades of failed film attempts were hampered by rights disputes.
- Cretton’s crowded slate, which includes a live‑action Naruto and likely future Spider‑Man work, could delay when the Hawaii Five‑O film moves into production and is a key factor to watch.
