Good one, Ace. I wonder how many people will get that one?

Yet another remake. Yawn. Can't wait til Hardcastle and McCormick: The Movie or Riptide: The Motion Picture.

[dunmall]

i got it haha

ten bucks says it ends up being a stupid comedy staring ben stiller...

But seriously I've often thought about what 1990s tv shows will get remade as movies in 20 years....

Melrose Place could be a brilliant comedy and social satire on the early 90s

I could see The Nanny getting remade... perhaps with Brosnan as Mr. Sheffield? lol

Even though it had a feature film I could deffinately see someone swooping in on the X-Files in the future.

Although not a fan, it's one show I could actually see worthy of another feature film. There's lots of possibilities with that show that could go on forever. Did Magnum really leave any lingering questions people need answered in a feature film?

The Stiller comedy thing sounds like too likely a scenario. When will it end?

Dont forget Simon & Simon Begins...

[Tarl_Cabot]

I loved Magnum P.I.(kinda like Bond on TV, cool car, exotic locales) but he was soooooo ridiculously overdeveloped as a character...Do we really need a MPI movie? No.

[The Dove]

Hmmm I wonder if Tom Sellick will reprise his role as Magnum, or if the producers will cast someone else in the role, like they did for the Miami Vice movie with Colin Farrel and Jamie Foxx?

[Seannery]

That's right! I think Tom doing is a new TV series and can't take the part.

Greg's Previews on Yahoo Movies did a spoof page a couple of years back for a Hardcastle and McCormick movie, with Sigourney Weaver and Chris Rock in the leads. As a concept it doesn't sound any worse than the recent summer fare Hollywood has offered up.

Ten years ago, this would have been a great idea, and I'd be full of anticipation.

Now, not so sure. It could still work, but only if handled the right way. Shoot on the same location, and play it relatively straight (i.e., don't camp it up any more than the show already was). And if they're going to do it, they HAVE to use Selleck. Also, I would insist on TC, Higgie-baby, Zeus and Apollo all featuring prominently. Rick, I could take or leave.

A few years back, I wrote a treatment for Universal called: Magnum PI: One More Round. I wrote it as a reunion bit, and had Thomas (now a Captain in Naval Intel) returning to Hawaii because Lily (his daughter, now 21) has just washed out of the Navy by choice....But she's found a place to stay...I'll dig up the scene I wrote and C&P it here later.

They optioned it and were planning a TV movie. Selleck only wants to do a big screen - but it could work. I'd heard Clooney was in the running. The only change being the trio (Magnum, Rick and TC) were now all Gulf War 1 vets.

I think it wouldn't work on the big screen, but we'd all like to see a reunion movie on TV. Hell, that cast was/is TV family to a lot of us.

Hah!

I'll always have a soft spot for that show, as it kept me company when I was lonely during my first semester in graduate school in the chilly Pacific Northwest.

[Bryce (003)]

OK -I dug up the old file and about ten pages of script from one of the two scenes I wrote.

Don't know if anyone will like it, but here it is. Just remember, it was wriiten as TV reunion movie.

Magnum arriving back in Hawaii.

I'm so looking forward to this. I hope they keep Selleck instead of *Gasp* Affleck or so the rumours go.

...Really good stuff. You handle that typewriter like you handle a 21 year old single malt. Smooth and with style!

No..., ahem, really!

Thank you ACE - Digging up the file and finding about forty pages, I forgot how fun it was/is/could be.

And BTW - I found a post it note with "OBE? KBE?" on the printed pages. Clearly I was checking my facts.

As to how I handle a typewriter and 21 year old scotch...carefully.

I've handled a few 21 year olds though. Mostly curvy co-eds



Also, just got season three on DVD. First Episode "Did You see the Sunrise?" is one of the best of the series.
