MacGyver Movie in the Works
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Richard Dean Anderson quit Stargate to spend more time with his family, so I don't think he'll go for a whole movie, I predict a shitty remake but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Oh yes, it was a product of the 80s to the extreme, hell, check out the theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-oDZSLUrY (this had been be in the movie)Chipperz said:
Pretty much this. RDA quit to spend time with his family, and god knows he deserves it. As awesome as RDA in a new MacGyver would be, maybe just a cameo would be enough to do the name justice.Blind Sight said:
Shame Dana Elcar wouldn't be able to be in it...
Incidentally Mr. Westbrook, I disagree with your opinion that "the mullet can stay with the TV show". MacGyver and the mullet are one and the same. If there is no mullet, it's just some weirdo boy scout without a gun.
Well most of the escapists were not even around when this masterpiece of a show invaded our houses in the 80's. Every Sunday afternoon at 3pm was time for Macgyver. No children playing outside, almost not even traffic, everybody and their mother were watching the show.Susan Arendt said:
OP: Knowing that Anderson is now 60, I hope they adapt the plot to a more mature Macgyver without loosing the spirit of the TV show.
But Dana Elcar (Pete) died in 2005
So... We have a (pretty fickin' awesome for the 80s) TV show; a parody of that show on SNL during 20 years later; a movie based on those parodies 10 years after that; and a movie based on the original show approx. 5 years after that.
That's recycling worthy of MacGuyver himself.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Granted, MacGyver was (according to my parents) my favorite show during my (extremely) formative years (I was 4), so I would obviously know about it from personal experience, but how is it even possible to think a pop-culture piece of history like MacGyver, which informed and was in turn referred back to by other works of pop-culture ever since it aired, was actually just something the writers of The Simpsons made up as a running joke?Susan Arendt said:
That's just... wow.
I fear we'll need a petition to avoid some awful young actor (LaBeouf: yikes!!!) playing the lead.
We need the real "Mac" to fix this up properly!
Give those youngsters a lenght of string, three and a half paper clips and a rusty tin can and they WONT be able to turn it into a cold fusion reactor; tsssk!

Well I hope Hollywood wont desecrate this one, its my favourite TV show of the 80's and one of the favourites ever. But you got a point, and knowing how Hollywood is great butchering all classics I understand your statement.Hawkeye16 said:

I've never actually seen MacGyver, but I've heard a lot about it and it sounds amazing and quite ridiculous (in a good way), so I would definitely watch this.
I think they should probably at least slightly reference the mullet, even if not directly. Like, they could have a bit, probably near the start, where he can't decide how his hair should be.

If Richard Dean Anderson isn't in it, even as a side character, im gonna be furious! Without him in the movie at all, i can safely say 'Epic Fail'.
Oh Holywood ruining my childhood one movie at a time. I've watched every episode of MacGyver. If you do make a movie please make it good and not just some lets make fun of an old tv show with a new movie. ALA Brady Bunch, Starsky & Hutch, Dukes Of Hazzard, etc etc. If you are going to make a MacGyver movie please make it movie that is actually like the tv show.
I'm pretty sure they tried this not more than a year ago, and then the writer/director guy realized that Richard Dean Anderson is 1) Getting kinda old and 2) Put on some weight, and well simply put without Richard Dean Anderson, there is no MacGuyver. No I do not want a reboot and there is no exceptions with this for me, but I have the odd feeling it will be about MacGuyvers son, since for those who did not watch the series the last episode ended with that lil cliff hanger. (Oh and Teal'c was in the last episode as a high school student if I remember correctly)
Get excited for MacGuyver Jr.!

RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON IS THE GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN TO TV!
plus if he isnt reprising his role i really don't give a damn about the movie. GRANTED that there should a MacGyver for this generation. He was the awesome for the 80s/90s
