Digital Spy  Search Digital Spy  TV News  'Five-0' exec: 'Show
is not a remake'    Hawaii Five-0's executive producer Alex
Kurtzman has revealed that he doesn't classify the show as a
remake.  According to E! Online, Scott Caan explained that he
has avoided watching the original version because he does not
want his portrayal of Dano to be affected by it.  Meanwhile,
Kurtzman explained that he wanted to take Hawaii Five-0 in a new
direction.  "For me, the word 'remake' suggests we're doing
exactly the same thing," he said. "And in our experience in Star
Trek, we felt like you have to find the spirit of what that
original franchise was about, and you have to really be true to
it, then you have to expand on it and bring it into the modern
time with whatever rules will govern it."  Hawaii Five-0 will
premiere on September 20 on CBS.  You May Like  More: TV
