Feb 08 | While his "Lost" co-stars prepare to pack up and leave Hawaii, Daniel Dae Kim can plan to remain there for at least a few more months. Mr. Kim, who plays the time-traveling tough guy Jin on "Lost," has been the first actor cast in a coming remake of the crime drama "Hawaii Five-O," The Hollywood Reporter said. He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968.

Star Trek The Next Generation actor/director Jonathan Frakes will direct a segment of Masters of Science Fiction TV Series entitled "The Discarded", based on a short story by Harlan Ellison (who wrote TOS classic episode"The City on the Edge of Forever"), scripted by Ellison and Josh Olson (Academy Award-nominee A History of Violence).
Ellison posted this on his discussion board on Monday:
"Josh's and my "The Discarded" will shoot in Vancouver July 23rd to August 6th, approximately. I'll likely go up there for the shoot. Oh, and by the way, it'll be aptly directed by Jonathan Frakes. Produced by Keith Addis."
The story deals with a ship of mutants that have been exiled from Earth due to their ugliness. An Earth representative seeks their cooperation when they are the only hope of curing a disease on the home planet.
The story was published in 1959 and anthologized in Ellison's Paingod and Other Delusions. He indicated that he's very proud of the adaptation.
Thanks to "JanS" at the TrekWeb StarTrekBBS for the news.
