Episode Review: Hawaii Five-0 - 2.23: "Ua Hala"
15 May 2012 1:09 PM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
After dragging us around for the better part of a season, Hawaii Five-0 (TV) finally delivers on some long needed answers with Steve McGarrett’s (Alex O’loughlin) past. And it also delivers on some high octane action and suspense, in addition to racking up a pretty damn big body count. A few of those bodies are people the fans might care about too. The details are a little sketchy, and I must be the only one who doesn’t remember who ‘Toothpick’ is, but he’s stalking Team Five-0. And predictably, everything starts out hunky-dory, until it all blows up in their faces. Danny (Scott Caan) is having issues with Rachel yet again, this time, she might be moving to Las Vegas with Stan and taking Grace with her. Chin (Daniel Dae Kim) is happy with his wife, Malia (Reiko Aylesworth) and Kono (Grace Park) is mending things with her boy-toy Adam. »

14 May 2012 10:54 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Spoiler alert: Hawaii Five-0 wrapped its second season with an hour that involved a crapload of gunfire, an explosion, and an evil William Baldwin. The Top 5 moments:
• Chin Ho is shirtless getting broken ribs examined: And, it took him extra time to get that shirt back on because of those broken ribs. Nice! He got injured in a blast at the Honolulu Police Department after Hilary Chaver (Taylor Cole), a woman who’d supposedly been killed five years earlier in a police chase, shot and killed Chief Fryer and wounded Max (Masi Oka), who’d followed the trail of blood »

Episode Review: Hawaii Five-0 - 2.21: "Pa Make Loa"
1 May 2012 11:02 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Hawaii Five-0 (TV) has been fated to cross-over with its crime drama sister show, NCIS: Los Angeles (TV) for some time now. After Agent Kensi (Daniela Ruah) guested on the show back in the fall, it seemed that a clandestine team-up was ever present on the horizon. And while this epic fandom collision was a pretty fun romp, there were a few misses amongst the hits. But you got to admit, it’s always fun to watch the drama of fighting an impending plague. The facts are these: A frightened family calls the police when their enraged father and ex-husband starts beating on their doors. The Hpd arrives to find what I like to call, The Pus-Man. The guy is riddled with disease and dies right there, and anyone within a ten foot radius should have been running screaming for the hills. Max Bergman (Masi Oka) is called in, and »

Episode Recap: Hawaii Five-0 - 2.20: "Ha'alele"
10 April 2012 9:56 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Sometimes, you just have to let your supporting characters shine. And there is no better example than giving a highly character-driven storyline to a secondary, yet beloved character like Max Bergman (Masi Oka). Back story, angst, and a little bit of suspense all rolled into a nicely done episode that stood on its own despite the lack of it's leading man, Alex O'loughlin. The facts are these: In an opening teaser that could have been snatched from any one of the multitude of Scream movies, a young girl is plucked from her broken-down car on the side of road in North Shore. She's found dead in a pineapple field later, and there are tell-tale signs on the body that disturbs Max greatly. Meanwhile, Steve has left Danny (Scott Caan) a "Dear Danno" letter explaining that he's got to don his Lone Ranger hat once again to seek his father's killer, »

'Hawaii Five-0' Masi Oka on O'Loughlin absence: 'We missed Alex'
10 April 2012 4:10 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Hawaii Five-0's Masi Oka has admitted that it felt strange filming without star Alex O'Loughlin. O'Loughlin, who plays Steve McGarrett, has taken a brief hiatus from the CBS drama due to a stint in rehab. "It was a different experience, but we definitely missed Alex," Oka told The Hollywood Reporter. "A lot of the script had to change, because this was a sudden development for us." The former Heroes actor added that the remaining cast members formed a "strong bond" in O'Loughlin's absence. "Having the smaller group, there were fewer people to share the screen time, so we actually spent more time with each other, because everybody carried a little bit more weight now," he explained.

Hawaii Five-o Review: Taking Out the Trash
10 April 2012 1:20 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"Ha'alele:" Abandoned
Allow me to start with the elephant in the room. This episode is the first of two episodes that will be affected by Alex O’Loughlin’s absence. That said, I have to give a nod to the writers and production staff for doing such a great job of adjusting this episode to deal with the missing McGarrett. I'm sure I speak for a lot of use when I say that I hope O'Loughlin's time off has helped him and I look forward to his return.
With that out of the way, let’s talk about the amount of information we got on Max this week! What a revealing episode for him. When Masi Oka first joined the cast as Max Bergman back in Season One, I really didn't like the character at all. He was too quirky, the Ocd and eccentricities really turned me off the character. »

'Hawaii Five-0' Star Masi Oka on Max's Big Episode and his Quest to Bring Improv to Japan
9 April 2012 1:01 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
A serial killer comes to Oahu on Monday's Hawaii Five-0, and the development brings with it some rather surprising revelations about quiet medical examiner Max (Masi Oka). He offers up surprising insight about a killing -- and his past -- during the investigation that happens to fall on the first episode of star Alex O'Loughlin's brief hiatus. Oka spoke with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of his highlighted storyline, likely the biggest arc he's gotten since becoming a series regular in Season 2, and the Heroes vet offered details on the season finale, working without O'Loughlin, how his summer plans involve teaching

I had a revelation recently when chatting with my colleague Mandi Bierly about her sharing a dish of lobster mac and cheese with Pauly Shore during a recent interview. (You could ask her for details on that story, but that’s really all there is to it.): My life is weird.
In the past week, I’ve party-stalked Charlie Sheen (with no luck getting two minutes alone for an interview), talked about Titanic with Ringer’s Ioan Gruffudd (he’s in it!), watched Megan Mullally steal from my colleagues, and hung out with the cast of the fantastic new drama Scandal. »

'Hawaii Five-0' star Alex O’Loughlin taking break for treatment
3 March 2012 11:15 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
"Hawaii Five-0" will be a man down as star Alex O’Loughlin will have to miss at least one episode while receiving treatment for prescription drugs, but the show will go on. The CBS series is currently ahead of schedule, and the upcoming episode 20 fortuitously doesn't feature O’Loughlin very much, instead centering on Masi Oka's character. After completing production on that episode, "Hawaii" will take a short break. Production on the show's 23-episode Season 2 order will then continue as originally scheduled, with O'Loughlin likely back onboard. A statement from O'Loughlin's reps reads, “Alex is taking a short break from Hawaii Five-0 to receive supervised treatment »

‘Hawaii Five-0′ Star Alex O’Loughlin To Take Break From The Series For Treatment
2 March 2012 4:15 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Hawaii’s Five-0 task force will be without its leader for a little while. Hawaii Five-0 star Alex O’Loughlin will miss at least one episode of the CBS crime drama for a stint in rehab. “Alex is taking a short break from Hawaii Five-0 to receive supervised treatment for prescription pain medication due to a recent shoulder injury,” a rep for the actor said in a statement. The series, which is ahead of schedule, is now shooting episode 20, which coincidentally focuses heavily on Masi Oka’s character, and O’Loughlin didn’t have many scenes. After the episode wraps, the show will take a short break, after which production will proceed as planned, with Hawaii completing its 23-episode Season 2 order. “We respect and support Alex’s decision,” CBS Studios, which produces the series, said. “Everyone at CBS Television Studios and Hawaii Five-0 wishes him well and we look forward to his return. »

Episode Recap: Hawaii Five-0 - 2.18: "Lekio"
29 February 2012 10:58 AM, PST | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Life in Hawaii Five-0 world doesn't get much better than when you get someone like James Caan to guest star. And not only was it hilarious, but his character didn't eat up the scenes or get in the way. He worked *with* the story line, had a valued part in the investigation, and when everything is right in the universe, *this* is how you use a guest star with some oomph behind him. I very much hope Caan Sr. shows up again. The facts are these: Bobby Raines (Dennis Miller) is a loud-mouthed, pull no punches radio host who broadcasts to his acolytes from his boat offshore. Bobby Raines then goes Boom. Literally. He gets the Rick Springfield treatment, but hey, at least they spent time plugging James Caan and not so much on Dennis Miller that I don't feel too bad when he dies before the opening credits roll. »

Movement in Bleach Manga Movie
23 February 2012 6:01 PM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
To date, Hollywood has had a pretty rough time with adaptation of manga and anime. With the boxoffice bombs of movies such as Speed Racer and Dragonball: Evolution, you’d think Hollywood executives would give up on bringing to life something that is so precious to fans that even a slight change to the story will incite rage. Even M. Night Shyamalan’s take on The Last Airbender was critically lambasted. But this doesn’t stop filmmakers from trying.
Now that the live-action rendition of Akira has been put on hold, producers have their eyes on another anime to mangle. This time they have their sights set on Bleach. That’s right folks, Warner Bros. has acquired live-action feature rights to Tite Kubo’s manga and anime property Bleach. Variety is telling us that Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans) will be in charge of adapting the manga for the big screen. »

Warner Bros. Set Scribe for Adaptation of Japanese Manga/Anime Bleach
23 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Warner Bros. has been developing a live-action adaptation of Tite Kubo’s immensely popular Japanese manga/anime Bleach for almost two years now, and it looks like things are picking up speed for the project.
Variety report that the studio has now set Dan Mazeau, co-writer of the upcoming Wrath of the Titans, to pen the adaptation, which Peter Segal (Get Smart) is producing with an eye to possibly directing too.
Michael Ewing, Segal’s frequent collaborator, will be producing along with Masi Oka (you’ll know him as Hiro from Heroes), who co-starred in Segal’s Get Smart and was the one to bring the project to him, which makes this quite possibly the most awesome news I’ve heard this year so far.
Bleach revolves around the character of Ichigo (voiced by Masakazu Morita in the original Japanese, and Johnny Yong Bosch in the English dubs), who accidentally »

Warner Bros. Moves Forward on a Live-Action Bleach Movie
22 February 2012 5:00 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
The last time we heard about Warner Bros.’ interest in turning the “Bleach” anime into a live-action movie was way back in the glory days of 2010. Now in 2012, the studio has officially nabbed rights to the property, and has set Peter Segal to produce and “Wrath of the Titans” screenwriter Dan Mazeau to write the title for them. Segal, who previously directed “Get Smart” and “The Longest Yard” remake, is also in line to direct the film. The very popular “Bleach” follows the tale of one Ichigo, “a teenager with the ability to see ghosts. When his family is attacked by a Hollow — a malevolent lost soul — Ichigo inadvertently absorbs the power to hunt Hollows. He then dedicates his life to protecting the innocent and helping tortured souls find peace.” Segal and Mazeau won’t be the only two working on the Hollywood version.

Warner Bros. is moving forward with its manga adaptation Bleach, hiring Wrath of the Titans writer Dan Mazeau to pen the script.
We first reported on this project back in March 2010, when Warner Bros. picked up the rights to Tite Kubo's manga. The story centers on a teenage boy named Ichigo, who has the ability to see ghosts. When his family is attacked by a "Hollow," an evil lost soul, Ichigo dedicates his life to protecting the innocent and helping the Hollows find their way.
Actor Masi Oka (Heroes) will produce with Peter Segal, Michael Ewing, and Viz Media. Masi Oka, who also starred in Peter Segal's Get Smart, first brought the project to Peter Segal's Callahan Filmworks.
It is also said that Peter Segal may end up directing Bleach, although he is only currently attached as a producer.
