On a MPI related note, here's an interesting article from the Honolulu Advertiser: http://showandtellhawaii.honadvblogs.co ... the-cards/

I'm super-excited about the Five-O remake! The cast looks solid so far.
As for the Magnum "re-boot", there is not anything of substance in that article; it's just one guy speculating about it. If the original cast is out (for whatever reason), I'd take anything with the name "Magnum P.I." on it - re-boot, re-make, whatever. It'd be fun!

Be careful what you wish for, James. Knight Rider was TERRIBLE! I was super disappointed in how that turned out.J.J. Walters wrote:I'm super-excited about the Five-O remake! The cast looks solid so far.

Not necessarily. I'm thinking of the Star Wars prequels. Of course, I guess they don't actually "take away" from the original movies - it was Lucas' tinkering that did that.J.J. Walters wrote:True, Doc, true. But isn't something better than nothing?
There was also the attempted re-boot of the Mike Hammer series after a ten year hiatus. The result wasn't great.
"How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent."

I remember that. I tried to like it, but I couldn't. Nick was definitely no Mickey Kostmayer, not by a long shot.Styles Bitchley wrote:There was also the attempted re-boot of the Mike Hammer series after a ten year hiatus. The result wasn't great.

Oh, I'm definitely a purist. I just wouldn't automatically be against a Magnum "re-boot" if the original cast isn't in the cards. Even if it was horrible, it would be entertaining, if for no other reason than because it's in the "Magnuverse"! The first new Magnum material in 20+ years! The original series ran for so long, and has been off the air for so many years now, a horrible "re-boot" wouldn't adversely effect the original series in any way. If anything, it would make the original series that much better.

I agree James. A horrible "re-boot" wpu;d only enhance the original Magnum in people's eyes. Looking at it like that I say bring it on.J.J. Walters wrote:Oh, I'm definitely a purist.

They might as well do a parody. I always thought an alternate universe version of the original show would be interesting. But, even then I would like to see the original cast in it. The only way for it to work without Selleck, would be for Ben Stiller to play Magnum. It would be funny because he's so short, and he acts over-the-top and cheezy!
I just don't give a damn!

The first trailer is out:

Wow, not sure what to think right now. It looks soooooooo completely different from the original. But I guess that's to be expected.
McGarrett looks a little too young for my liking. Glad to see Daniel Dae Kim as Chin. And Grace Park as Kono! LOL! Hell-o!

From a different perspective- I'm slightly too young to have ever seen the original- actually, I've never even seen an episode of the original Hawaii-Five-O- but I'm seriously keen to see this reboot. The trailer and behind the scenes stuff on Youtube look good as well.
I really hope it does well and the writers keep it interesting.
Reboots are so dangerous and this one obviously has a lot of expectation over it.
Producers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Peter Lenkov have done some very slick work- in my opinion feeling a little over produced at times- but they did bring Star Trek to a new life very successfully... although the Transformers franchise has been rubbish- so who knows how this will come out. They could pull it off.
Ha.
