kristen999This is definitely a twist to things. Cool info for a new eppy set to air in 2013.
Spoilers
EW has learned exclusively that the CBS drama will soon start production on an updated version of “Hookman,” an episode of the original series that was first aired almost four decades ago and won an Emmy in 1974 for Best Music Composition.
Peter Weller (RoboCop) is set direct the episode and guest star as the title villain, taking over the role originally played by double amputee Jay J. Armes.
“It was a stand-out and a fan-favorite,” says executive producer Peter Lenkov of choosing the episode from a batch of many contenders. “It sort of came to everyone’s mind — everyone remembered ‘Hookman".
And while Lenkov says the ultimate goal is to “meticulously reboot” the episode as much as possible (a task that comes with the blessing of the original episode’s writers), those who remember the 1973 version of the story will notice a few changes.
For example, in the new version of the episode, McGarrett’s father will share a past with the villain, whereas it was McGarrett himself who had ties to Hookman in the original. There will also be a few tonal changes to accommodate modern Five-0‘s style and pacing, but small adjustments aside, “we’re trying to really bridge the old and the new,” says Lenkov.
(Here is a brief abbreviated synopsis of Hookman from IMDB because I did not want to give the whole thing away)
Curt Stoner lost his hands many years ago when dynamite he was holding to extort money from a bank exploded literally in his face. In prison, he acquired prosthetic hands which he uses with remarkable dexterity. On the outside, he acquired four rifles -- one for each of the four cops who were on the scene, ending with McGarrett.
This is one of my favorite tropes, I swear! I love it when a bad guy goes after someone for revenge and this eppy was supposed to be very creepy and very well written. So, this guy goes after Steve? Call me excited.
