SAW Director James Wan In Talks To Helm MACGYVER Movie

Screw MacGyver, what about THE GUYVER. That movie was ahead of its time.

Just let Richard Dean Anderson play an older MacGyver. That would be more fun.

Rebooting it and making it gritty makes no sense.

could work, i suggested this idea a while back to my friend who was a sr exec at mgm who owns the rights to mcguyver

i was born in 89 and i didn't watch a macgyver episode until it was released on DVD, and for a decade RDA was Jack O'Neill to me.

Bring it on!! I've been a huge MacGyver fan since the show premiered.

MacGyver needs

1. Richard Dean Anderson to play MacGyver
2. Bruce McGill- as Jack Dalton
3.Terri Hatcher- as Penny Parker

you also need the zartan-esque ,Murdoc atleast mentioned! Same goes with Pete!

I suppose you can have the story follow Macgyver's grandson since his son was introduced in series finale. I think a grandson would be in his mid 20s by now. MacGyver could be the new head of the Phoenix foundation replacing Pete ( since Dana Elcar sadly passed away in 2005).

The story can basically be about the new Phoenix recruit trying to gain the approval of his Grandfather, when they both end up going on some crazy "MacGyver adventure" together. Along the way they meet up with Jack and Penny. And somehow you can throw Murdoc in the mix. As long as there are bombs, paperclips, mullets, duct-tape, swiss army knives, explosions, bombs - oh and Mac can't use a gun - unless its to break it apart and make a some sort of bomb with it.

Hollywood will screw this up with a pretty face and a lack of intelligence of the property.
