This could be really cool. But only if Richard Dean Anderson does it.
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.

Now what i want to know is will there be mullets involved, because MacGyver had the best mullet in the world.
Oh great - now I have the McGyver theme in my head...well, I'm not going down alone
Huzzah!!
One of my favorite themes and shows - EVER!
Better MacGuyver than MacGruber. I loved MacGuyver as a teen and couldn't wait to see what he came up with.
AWESOME! That would be cool!
MacGruber! He's a really awesome dude. MacGruber!
Oh wait...wrong show. :P
I'll admit, I've only seen two episodes of MacGyver, but it was pretty good stuff. This should be interesting. :)

I love MacGyver, I watched it every time it was on TV. Though I only found out about the show after my Dad called Jack O'Neill MacGyver.

In the opening scene of the movie MacGyver goes into a stable and makes a new mullet out of a horse's tail! There's no stopping MacGyver!
That's right, but you forgot that he attached it with a rubber band, paper clip and some ordinary household tin foil. :)
