He says that the script has been written by George Litto and Avery Duff; and that Litto envisions Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas or Harrison Ford in the Steve McGarret role..
Jack Lord starred as McGarrett and James MacArthur played Danny Williams.
Asked about a role for Lord, now 66, Litto replied, "He could play the governor or senator from Hawaii."
Lord was in the CBS series from '68-'80. It followed with 14 years in syndication and will probably next go to cable.
Litto is sending the script to major studios today and thinks Andy Davis, Brian De Palma or Paul Verhoeven would be great as director.
The story would be international in scope, with Hawaii as the gateway, says Litto, and roles for the president of the U.S., premiere of Japan, leaders of Pacific Rim countries, China, Australia, etc.
