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.

BBC posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek Nemesis director Stuart Baird, in which he talked about his experiences directing the last TNG movie, which was a failure at the box office. Here are few excerpts.
In terms of your career, was Star Trek a fun franchise to be part of?
Yes, it was fun. It's big entertainment but I know the fans take it hugely seriously. I took it very seriously to give you two hours of entertainment, with as much bang for your buck, and thrills, spills, emotion, and humour. That was my task, and not to get too precious about it.
Did it cause any problems on set that you were such a Star Trek virgin?
I'm not an aficionado. There were little hiccups here and there when some people were offended I didn't quite understand the back story. It's incredibly important to them, so some of them would think directing this one, you surely should know it all. But god almighty, I wasn't going to look at 178 episodes. Ultimately, it wasn't a problem. My intention was since I was a virgin to it all, I wanted to make a movie that stands alone and doesn't rest on all the past history.
What was the catalyst to go into directing at a late stage after a long career in editing?
I was a film doctor. I felt like I was directing for a long time in my editing role. And that's a large part of directing a movie. It doesn't make you a good director when you go on the floor and handle actors, but I always got on well with actors. I always thought I should sort my own messes out rather than continuing sorting other people's messes out.
