...especially one starring George Clooney.
It ("The Decendants") won't hit theaters until December, but sounds as though there will be a fair amount of Oahu & Kauai scenery.

I'd sent the Descendants/Hawaii Magazine link to a number of Hawaii lovers & a website problem has developed.
This one appears to be a reasonable substitute:

I watched the trailer yesterday, parts of the movie were filmed at my sons high school. He auditioned for a minor role, got a second call back but wasn't selected. Too bad, it would have been cool to see him in the movie.
I read this book last year and will be looking for the movie.
