This Friday the Hawaii Five-0 panel kicks off its Comic-Con session at 10:15 am in room 6BCF. According to reports, CBS is intensifying its presence in San Diego this year (where over 125,000 TV fans are expected at the Convention Center) and not in the least with its first convention floor booth. Other panels representing the #1 network are CSI and Big Bang Theory.
James Hibberd’s blog lists the Hawaii Five-0 panel among the must-sees because, “Can a CBS crime drama nobody’s seen yet pull off a Comic-Con event? Will convention-goers embrace or shun? CBS figures fans will fill the room for the geek-auspices of the cast and producers and, hopefully, walk away impressed by its action-heavy trailer for the show (“‘Lost’ castaway found! ‘Battlestar’ Cylon becomes human! Star Trek writers return from space!” touts the panel’s ad copy).”
Alex Kurtzman, one of the show’s creators, believes what justifies Hawaii Five-0‘s presence at the traditionally “nerdy and culty” event, “is that it literally is created by an amazing melting pool of geeks — between us and Peter Lenkov, who wrote R.I.P.D. [comics], Len Wiseman, who directed and produced the Underworld movies, [stars] Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim, whose credits speak for themselves.”
An opinion shared by President of the CBS Marketing Group, George Schweitzer, who told the LA Times, “Fans want to keep up with the people they love from television and movies and they want to know the next big thing they’re doing.”
Although Alex O’Loughlin himself is not scheduled to make an appearance in San Diego, TV Guide expects that the Aussie’s “legions of Moonlight fans are sure to fill the room for Friday morning’s Five-0 sneak peak”.
