  • King Kamehaheha

    What ever happened to the movie that was supposed to be filmed starring the Rock as King Kamehameha?

    That ought to be bloodthirsty epic. (Unless they sterilize with a PC cultural makeover, as Hollywood is prone to do)

      Eh Mahi Waina, you do know that you misspelled Kamehameha's name in this thread's subject line, don't you?

          He mentions it in the interview for Doom this past October. In 2004 they were rewriting the script. That's a while ago. Dunno.

            For HT readers who have recently joined, we talked about the movie a while ago in this thread also.

              A quick look on IMDb revealed nothing new and none of the local media outlets have mention this project so one or any of the following maybe happening here:
              1. No one is doing it
              2. It's in development hell
              3. Dwayne Johnson is not involved
              4. They are filming it some place else and it's under really tight security

                Peter Jackson should do this.

                Turn it into the epic that it deserves. Jackson is from New Zealand, which has ancient links to Hawaii.

                If anyone could make the Battle of Nuuanu come alive, he can.

                  If I had the backing, I would tell Pele and Kamapuaʻa's story; part Tarantino, part 300, part Apocalypto.

                  I have been thinking about that screenplay for years.

                    All the actors will have washboard abs, talk in Hawaiian and not pidgin, set to 1970's music.

                      abs plus meat. These are the gods we are talking about here; I want bull kanakz, not lean cuisines.

                      ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi me ka lepe ʻunuhi haole. (Hawaiian w/Eng subtitles)

                      no 1970's music; QT has a bounce-around timeline that comes to mind when reading the Hawaiian serials. Pulp Fiction gave me ideas long ago...

                        I haven't been posting too much but I gotta say, indeed. That should be a bumper stickter.

                        Well if there is anyone out there who could write an accurate, thoughtful, action packed, a$$ kickin', creative screenplay about a Hawaiian subject it's you P. For serious.
                        I'm disgusted and repulsed, and I can't look away.

                          Oh yeah! I would totally support that movie!! I have a BIG crush on Kamapua'a!

                              Hawaiians had a better diet back then because there were no Spam.
