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.

Newsarama posted a new interview with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and here are excerpts.
Newsarama: This movie obviously did really well here, but you have to admit, Mission did a lot better overseas...have you put any thought into how to make this work?
J.J. Abrams: We're not there yet....to try to sort of figure out an overseas gimmick. But I think that it's not a bad idea to begin thinking...in that way. You know, what can be done to sort of help open it up. I think if you look at something like Batman Begins for example. And you see what that movie did internationally, and domestically...and the success it had, the movie was so well done and so entertaining, people often found it watching the DVD and the Blu-ray. And when the sequel came out to that film, there was more of a built-in audience that simply didn't exist prior. So that's like the ideal version and certainly no one is looking to expect any kind of Dark Knight numbers on a Star Trek sequel, but the idea of looking at ways that hopefully the quality of the cast in the first film and the fun of the movie, that that will eventually over time, touch people who would not normally have gone to see the film in theaters. And when the sequel comes out, they're converts because they've actually seen the film that was made originally. That's the goal. In terms of casting, sure. Casting an international star would be a really good idea.
Nrama: What does moving the target to 2012 do for your development?
Abrams: I think that it's like closet space. You use what you've got. I mean, the more time you have, the more time you have to use to hopefully make a better movie.
Nrama: You keep hinting about dealing with Khan...
Abrams: We're not even in that stage yet. But, you know, the fun of where we are in the sequel is we could use some of what was done before in a new way. But we haven't even figured out what we would use yet. So it's very early on.
The full interview is here.
