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.

According to The Argus web site, TNG star Patrick Stewart next film project will be producing and starring in a film version of The Merchant Of Venice, set in the Las Vegas of the 20th century. The screenplay was written by Star Trek Nemesis writer John Logan. Here are excerpts from the article.
The idea came out of an argument the two had after Logan described it as a "loathsome play".
"I spent half an hour arguing the contrary," says Patrick. "He said, Would you like it if I started working on a screen project for nothing?' He earns about $2 million a project, so I thought it was a decent offer.
It will be a return to Hollywood for the actor, who recently moved back to Britain.
"I didn't like living in Los Angeles any more. I was terribly homesick for everything you see outside and everything that is going on in this theatre. The fun part about LA is I will be going back as a visitor, not a resident."
He doesn't regret his time spent in America though, or his time spent in Star Trek The Next Generation.
"One of the great things is people do come and will come here to see Jean-Luc Picard." says Stewart.
