WB series still set for Hawai'i

The WB network's Hawai'i-based TV series, "Rocky Point," is taking shape as
cast members are named, but on which island the show will be filmed is still up
in the air.

A unit production manager from the show briefly visited O'ahu, Maui and
Kaua'i last month. Producers are on O'ahu this week for a longer look.

The show, created by the "Blue Crush" writing and producing team of John
Stockwell and Lizzie Weiss, revolves around a 19-year-old Connecticut woman who
spurns Princeton to return to Hawai'i, where she was born. But the life she
carves out with her three best friends and her pro-surfer boyfriend on the North
Shore is disrupted when her estranged father shows up at her doorstep.

Chyler Leigh, 20, is a veteran of seven short-lived TV series, including
"That '80s Show." She has been cast in the lead role of Cassie Flynn. Billy
Campbell ("Once and Again," "The Rocketeer") plays her dad.

According to local casting director Anna Fishburn, Guess model Beau Garrett
has signed on as Cassie's friend Jess in the pilot, which is scheduled to
begin shooting Aug. 31.

Rick Dallago, who was a co-producer on two previous Stockwell projects —
"Blue Crush" and "Crazy/Beautiful," as well as "Things Behind the Sun" — is also
on board as a producer and is in Hawai'i this week.

According to a WB description of "Rocky Point," the show "will follow Cassie
and her surrogate family of friends as they struggle to grow up and find
their way in a place that looks very much like paradise."

Three network series — Fox's "North Shore," NBC's "Hawaii" and ABC's "Lost"
— are shooting or planning to shoot on O'ahu. That caused some concern among
local film commissioners that "Rocky Point" producers might opt to shoot
somewhere other than Hawai'i, rather than compete for crews and other resources.

On Monday, however, Hawai'i Film Office manager Donne Dawson said that all
indications are that Stockwell is intent on shooting here.

"They want to be here," Dawson said. "But it's not certain that there are
the facilities and crew that they need. That's the question. They're looking at
bringing people in."
