‘MacGyver: The Movie’ in the Making!
Film studio New Line Cinema will be reviving science-oriented adventure series MacGyver” as a feature film, THR reports.
The 1985-92 series starred Richard Dean Anderson, as an incredibly resourceful secret agent who favored brain over brawn in order to escape from dangerous situations.
“A paperclip can be a wondrous thing,” the ever-so-resourceful MacGyver has said. “More times than I can remember, one of these has gotten me out of a tight spot.”
New Line’s Richard Brener said, “We think we’re a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise.”
ARE YOU EXCITED to see MacGyver: The Movie — YAY or NAY?

I can’t believe it’s because of the popularity of the SNL skits!
NAY.
There are enough creative minds in the world to come up with something fresh and original. Hollywood is inundated with remakes.
I agree with number 2, Hollywood keeps throwing old stuff to our faces. Be original, invent new things if there are such “A-list writers” in that damn place!! Anyway, it’s nay and yay at the same time…….this will bring back loads of memory from my childhood!! the ol’ good times.. XD
yay! there is so much garbage in hollywood right now that calls itself “entertainent” that im glad to see a return to better storytelling, etc :)
macgyver rocks
MACGRUBER!
Making live-saving inventions out of household materials.
MACGRUBER!
i loved that show growing up, he’s like james bond without all this fancy sh!t
How am I going to sleep until then?
I’m sure they would ruin the original idea of simple things. I mean, some things McGyver did were unbelieveable, but I think this entire movie will consist of unbelieveable things…
I loved this programme gowing up!! I still do even to this ay. I have season 1 to 5 of MacGyver on DVD and I watch thim over and over. Wonder if Murdoc would be in the movie? He always seems to come back from the dead!
Can’t wait!
That’s hot!
I can’t wait. As long as Richard dean Anderson does the role, cause he is the one and only MacGyver. It might be a little sad though, considering Dana Elcar is dead..But id rather Pete not be in the movie than them using someone else to play th part.
brings back memories of my childhood!
Loved the show! Hope they don’t mess it up for me when they make the movie!
Well I could never stand to watch an episode of the old series but I absolutely LOVE Richard Dean Anderson so I’ll give this re-make a go thats for sure. I hope its true.
I love MacGyver now this is old skool!

After seeing what they did to Charlies Angels.. and other tv shows..
Who is going to play McGyver.. I know lets find the worst actors
and ruin this movie too..
A MOST FAVOURITE TV classic, I watch the DVDs over and over again…So, yes, I am thrilled that they are thinking of making a movie HOWEVER, I only want Richard Dean Anderson in the leading role and only if the visual effects won’t take center stage and risk turning it into a computer animation game or something…
My initial reaction is Nay. I was never a fan of the series I think I watched two episodes at the most. I had little interest in it as a TV show I can’t see paying to see it at a theater.
Of course I could change my depending on the star and director etc. But for the time being my answer is Nay.
I hope they have Richard Dean Anderson or I’m not interested.
Yay! Loved the show & Love Richard Dean Anderson!
I can see Michael Weatherly in the part!
I love love love McGuyver. Great show and should be a great movie.
Omg! He’s still alive….
Hmmm… This could be awesome! I wonder if SNL’s MacGruber had anything to do with this resurgence….
