CBS Books "Hawaii Five-0"

CBS has reportedly picked up a remake of the cop drama "Hawaii Five-O", based on an impressive pilot, shot on location in the Pacific islands.

Based on the 1968-1980 TV series "Hawaii Five-O", the pilot was written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Peter Lenkov.

The original series, created by Leonard Freeman, focused on an elite branch of the Hawaii State Police, answerable only to the governor.

Kurtzman and Orci, co-creators of Fox's Vancouver-lensed drama "Fringe," also wrote the screenplay for J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek."
