'Star Trek' scribes to update 'Hawaii Five-O'
Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will update Hawaii Five-O for CBS.
The network previously announced that Criminal Minds executive producer Ed Bernero was penning a new version last year. At that time, the reboot was said to centre on the son of Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) from the original series.
CSI: NY showrunner Peter Lenkov will now write the pilot script under the supervision of the Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen screenwriters, Variety reports.
The trio will also serve as executive producers on the remake, which has received a pilot commitment from the network.
Kurtzman and Orci's previous television credits include Fringe and Alias, both created by Trek director J.J. Abrams.
Hawaii Five-O originally aired on CBS from 1968 to 1980.
