Quentin Tarantino has turned down an offer to write and direct a film version of the 1970s TV series Hawaii Five-O.

Tarantino told Digitial Spy:
“My producing partner at the time, Lawrence Bender, was hanging out with some dude from Fox or Warners or whatever, and they said I should stop working on what I was doing, because I’d be so into this…I tried to watch the old TV show, but it sucks. I don’t even like Hawaii.”

Thanks to Dark Horizons for pointing it out.
