MacGyver is coming the big screen!

That's right, the DIY master himself is coming to big screen, presumably since interest has risen again thanks to the new release of the piss-take movie MacGruber (Which has bombed in the U.S box office, funnily enough!)

The shows creator has been pushing for a green light on a movie version of his show for years & years and finally he got his wish.  The guy scripting it, Jason Richman, has credits for the Nic Cage remake Bangkok Dangerous and Chris Rock / Anthony Hopkins Bad Company as well as an uncredited piece for Black Hawk Down...............hmmm, I suppose they could've picked a far worse guy to do the script.

But that's as far as the project is at the moment, no word on whether they'll have the original MacGyver, Richard Dean Anderson, back.  They should considering he's only 59 and............well..............he is MacGyver, nuff said!!  But, we know what the Hollywood types are like and will probably cast some flavour of the month to play MacGyver's son or some crap leaving the original man to a mere cameo.  If they don't allow RDA to play him again then it won't have much of a chance in the box office, nobody wants that cheesy mullet-man memory ruined.

Anywho, for old-time's sake


Ever wonder where he kept getting all those rubber bands and paper clips from?
