| News and Rumors: |
March 28, 2006: The Hollywood Reporter says that Frank Coraci (The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer) will direct Hawaiian Dick, a supernatural private eye thriller being produced by Practical Pictures' Craig Perry and Quattro Media's Jim Strader for New Line Cinema. Set in 1953 Hawaii, the film tells the story of a down-on-his-luck big-city detective who gets involved in a kidnapping case of a local island girl who turns up dead but won't stay that way. The script, by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason), is based on the 2002 comic by B. Clay Moore and Steven Griffin. Johnny Knoxville was at one point pegged to star. -Thanks to 'Superherohype' for the heads up!
April 27, 2003: New Line Cinema has picked up the comic book "Hawaiian Dick" to develop as a starring vehicle for Johnny Knoxville. Damian Shannon and Mark Swift have been brought on board to adapt. Set in 1953, "Dick" tells the story of a down-on-his-luck big-city detective who is exiled to Hawaii. While there, he gets involved in a kidnapping case of a local island girl who turns up dead but won't stay that way. The comic, by B. Clay Moore and Steven Griffin, first appeared as a three-issue series in 2002 from Image Comics.
HAWAIIAN DICK clearly wears its film noir influences on its sleeve, so it's only fitting that the book may soon wind up on the silver screen, according to series writer and co-creator B. Clay Moore. Moore created the book with artist Steven Griffin. "We've been shopping around for the right deal for quite some time, and New Line seemed to be a perfect fit for us," said Moore. "The screenwriters attached to the project have a real interest in keeping the movie true to the original comic book, and Knoxville is a solid match for Byrd. We're pretty jazzed."
