"Lost's" Daniel Dae Kim is staying in Hawaii with a lead role on CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" remake.

In CBS' updated take on the classic cop series, from CBS Studios, Kim will play Detective Chin Ho Kelly, a role played in the original series by Kam Fong.

The new "Hawaii Five-0" hails from hot feature writers and "Fringe" co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and "CSI: NY" executive producer/co-showrunner Peter Lenkov.

Kim, who played Jin Kwon on "Lost" for its six-season run, is the first actor from the show's core cast to book a new series project this pilot season as the ABC mystery drama heads to its May finale.

He is repped by APA and Lighthouse.

Lost panel at comic con some infos

we all know it's the last season for LOST and it seem they'll make something special for this event, here some details about this day.

*******

TV studios plan a strong presence at Comic-Con, with at least one company scheduling a record number of show panels.

The annual fan convention seems to feature a greater number of TV series each summer, with next month's lineup including a few titles beyond the usual sci-fi and fantasy genres. Procedurals such as Fox's "Bones" and USA's "Burn Notice," Fox's musical "Glee" and Discovery's "MythBusters" are in the mix.

Warner Bros. TV is bringing 11 shows to the event, the most the studio has featured.

"Comic-Con is the one place where Warner Bros. cross-divisionally presents a face to the consumer," said Lisa Gregorian, the studio's executive vp marketing.

One returning WBTV program is CBS' "The Big Bang Theory," which the studio brought to the event for the first time last year. Most sitcoms would not be a good fit for the Comic-Con crowd, but the geek-friendly "Big Bang" drew an enthusiastic response. The studio hopes to make a panel for the show a regular event, particularly after its ratings surged last fall.

When selecting programs for Comic-Con, Gregorian said any show with a mythology automatically belongs, and even genre series not premiering until midseason should screen.

"Our philosophy is that if it's ready, and it's great, and you're not making a lot of changes to it, you should show it to the fans," said Gregorian, whose midseason program "Human Target" will be shown.

ABC Studios is hosting at least seven panels, including one for the final season of ABC's "Lost," credited as the first TV show to launch at Comic-Con.

ABC has taken an increasingly unique approach to its "Lost" panel. Instead of simply screening footage and answering questions, the event is a carefully planned production that typically includes specifically shot footage and surprise guests.

"We've been working on the 'Lost' panel for literally months," said Mike Benson, executive vp marketing at ABC Entertainment. "We want the audience to experience 'Lost' in a fully entertaining way."

This year, ABC Studios is extending that approach to panels for its new ABC dramas "V" and "Flash Forward."

"We don't like to just stick people on a panel and have them answer questions," Benson said. "We feel like we have to do more for the audience than just promote the show. By having that experience, it gets them talking about the panel more."

20th TV is offering about nine panels, including those for Fox's new animated comedy "The Cleveland Show" and the newly revived "Futurama."

NBC Universal has at least eight programs, but most are for Sci Fi Channel and USA, with the studio planning only a "Heroes" panel for NBC. ("Chuck," produced by WBTV, also will have a panel.) The studio's apocalyptic midseason drama "Day One" will not be shown -- an NBC Uni spokesperson said it is "too early" -- but there will be some buzz-building marketing.

In one network's case, Comic-Con itself will be used as programming. G4 will broadcast what is billed as the first televised panel in the event's history. Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira will host the two-hour "Star Wars Spectacular," including a table read of a new "Clone Wars" script.

Rebecca Mader joins 'Goats' herd

Rebecca Mader, best known for playing scheming redhead Charlotte on ABC's "Lost," is in final negotiations for the lead female role in "Men Who Stare at Goats," the George Clooney- and Grant Heslov-produced adaptation of the book by Jon Ronson. Heslov is directing.

"Goats" is set in Iraq and centers on Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), a desperate reporter who stumbles upon the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was reactivated after 9/11.

Mader will play McGregor's wife.

Stephen Lang, who appears in James Cameron's "Avatar" and Michael Mann's "Public Enemies," also joins the cast that includes Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges, playing an intelligence officer.
