MacGyver Film In the Works?

Posted by timothy on from the humbly-beg-for-qi-shu-in-some-role dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like everyone's favorite Swiss Army knife-wielding action hero may be making an appearance on the big screen. The original series creator has announced plans are in the works for a MacGyver film. Serious questions abound: Will Richard Dean Anderson reprise the role? Will filming and editing somehow be done only using a paperclip, duct-tape, and TV remote?" And who, if not Anderson, would you want to play MacGyver?

    Rename the movie to MacGyver Brothers, and performed by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. Would love to see the extra-dvd content where they show how and where the movie they just acted was wrong.

    I always thought it was cool how'd he'd craft all sorts of nifty inventions with just what he had on hand. Oh, yeah! That part usually got subsumed under the incredible plots and acting.

    If you stapled it on, I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be able to pull off the mullet.
