Remember “Book ‘em Dano…murder one”? Well, if you’re older you’ll remember the famous line and the cop show from the 60′s and 70′s that featured Jack Lord as the tough cop in Hawaii.
Apparently, according to Yahoo! TV and Variety, it’s coming back again. Here’s the scoop:
“Hawaii Five-O” is reportedly heading back to TV – thanks to the writers behind “Star Trek” and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the screenwriters of the two summer hits, will be rebooting the classic cop drama for CBS along with “CSI: NY” producer Peter Lenkov, Variety reported.
The original show, which ran from 1968-1980, was filmed on location in Hawaii, where the new version is expected to return.
“Hawaii Five-O” starred Jack Lord and Danny Williams as a pair of hardened cops serving in the Hawaiian State Police. There’s no word yet on who would take on their roles in the reboot.
