It appears Did You See the Sunrise was Mr. Lenkov's favorite episode from the original show so it makes sense he would like to do a spin on it with his version.... I Saw the Sun Rise.
We know there is a Nuzo character in the pilot, so I'm guessing there will be an Ivan type character as the villain. Core 4 posted a pic of some type of prison with cages which also connects well the original script.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product and how it stacks up against our original!
I've been watching some of the auditions on vimeo and here's what I've got so far. Of course I don't know how much of this will actually be in the pilot:
- We already know from the call sheet that (Sebastian) Nuzo is in it, as well as a Lara Nuzo, and it's revealed in one of the auditions that it's the former who ends up dead. He hired Magnum and gets kidnapped/murdered before Magnum has a chance to see what Nuzo wanted to hire him for. Apparently some stolen gold that was being transported by boat to Hawaii sank, Nuzo was looking for it and found it, and was then murdered.
- Rick and Magnum have a scene where they're attacked by the bad guys while they're at the sunken gold site. Rick asks Magnum if there's "enough gold down there to buy
The Club a new boat?"
- There is a scene between Magnum and Tanaka, very reminiscent of the conversations/relationship they had on the original MPI. In one audition video Tanaka refers to him as a "P.I." and Magnum corrects him, "Private Investigator".
- From the auditions I watched I get the feeling of a lot of smart a** banter between Magnum, Rick, & T.C., some of it cutesy/comical. I know we had a bit of that in the original MPI, but it actually reminds me more of the conversations between McGarrett and Dano (of the new H50 that is).
- Buck Greene is mentioned as Naval Intelligence.
- Last but not least, there is a scene between Magnum and Higgins, and Magnum comes across as, oh, I don't know... flirting with Higgins? That's my take. This scene starts at the 1:48 mark. Blech.
