Book 'Em, Alex & Bob

I might not be crazy about this one. But it’s smart that Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are getting more and more into a producer role on projects instead of relying solely on screenwriting. Not a strike in any way, shape or form, but it’s odd how writers can be “hot” for awhile getting offers left-and-right. Then suddenly, they’re unemployed and can’t take a meeting to save their life. Hello, Justin Marks.

As per Variety, the screenwriting/producing duo have set their phasers to reboot another 60s era television-series. No, not Mr. Ed (Sigh), but Hawaii 5-0 which they’re developing for CBS. K&O will oversee the pilot with Peter Lenkov (currently an executive producer on CSI: New York for the network) behind the keyboard. Now this doesn't mean CBS is immediately committing to series for the fall 2010/2011 lineup. They'll make the pilot. If they like what they see, we'll go from there.

I guess their work-load wasn’t full enough as it was. They’re "only" writing the insanely-anticipated Star Trek sequel and Cowboys & Aliens, executive-producing Fringe (which isn't doing that awesome in the ratings for its sophomore year) and countless others that I'm forgetting off the top of my head.
