Puerto Rico to pose as Hawaii in new movie?

Advertiser Staff

Actor Timothy Olyphant, remembered as hardware store owner Seth Bullock on "Deadwood," will play a man honeymooning in Hawai'i stalked by two killers in his next movie, "A Perfect Getaway."

Film and entertainment Web sites indicate, however, that Puerto Rico may be the stand-in location for Hawai'i in the MGM film, which starts shooting in Puerto Rico on March 17. No word on who the bride or the stalkers are — or if some filming will be done here.

Olyphant was in Bruce Willis' "Live Free or Die Hard" last summer.

"Getaway" will be directed by David Twohy, who wrote and helmed "The Chronicles of Riddick" and also scripted "The Fugitive."
