The 'Hawaii Five O' Revival: A Case Study in Creative Reinvention A feature film based on the classic television series Hawaii Five O is in the works, courtesy of Destin Daniel Cretton and Paramount Pictures.
At first glance, this might seem like just another example of nostalgia driven cash grabbing, but scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a more complex story about creative reinvention and the shifting landscape of entertainment.
The original Hawaii Five O debuted in 1968 with its iconic catchphrase ("Book 'em, Danno") becoming an ingrained part of pop culture.
