Just when I thought my childhood was safe for another little while, I discover today that the DeLaurentiis clan is planning to re-make one of my beloved childhood memories.
They plan on making a feature length in-theater movie of MacGuyver. I mean, really... MacGuyver? Yeah, the show was cool. Richard Dean Anderson's mullet rocked the 80s, and who wouldn't want to know who to build a bomb from a tampon, some gum and a few ground up erasers? But a movie? A movie in 2010? A movie based on a show that went off the air more than 10 years ago, that the only people who would actually remember will be pissed off because Hollywood decides to, yet again, trash our formative years...
I hate fucking Hollywood. Why can't they actually try to come up with their own ideas sometime?
The original story
"New Line is using twine, bubble gum and a pencil to throw "MacGyver" into development as a feature film.
Raffaella De Laurentiis, daughter of Dino De Laurentiis, is producing through her Raffaella Prods. along with Martha De Laurentiis and series creator Lee Zlotoff.
Dino De Laurentiis is exec producing.
"MacGyver" was a science-oriented adventure series that ran from 1985-92 on ABC. 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."
