MACGYVER invents its way onto the Big Screen

From ComingSoon.net:

The Hollywood Reporter says that New Line Cinema is bringing MACGYVER to the big screen.

Raffaella De Laurentiis, daughter of Dino De Laurentiis, is producing through her Raffaella Productions along with Martha De Laurentiis and series creator Lee Zlotoff. Dino De Laurentiis is executive producing.

'MacGyver' ran on ABC from 1985-92. Richard Dean Anderson, later of 'Stargate: Atlantis' and 'SG-1' fame, starred as an incredibly resourceful secret agent for the Phoenix Foundation who frequently would escape from dangerous situations with ingenious and lightning-quick engineering trickery.

No writer is attached, but the studio hopes to find a script that can acknowledge how the concept has staked a place into pop culture yet still makes for a serious and fun adventure movie.

'We think we're a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise,' said New Line's Richard Brener."

Can't wait to see this movie. That's all I got to say. AND BESIDES...watch this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ar1WjNCHg
