New Line is using twine, bubble gum and a pencil to throw “MacGyver” into development as a feature film.<\/p>\n

Raffaella De Laurentiis, daughter of Dino De Laurentiis, is producing through her Raffaella Prods. along with Martha De Laurentiis and series creator Lee Zlotoff.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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, who will oversee with Sam Brown and Walter Hamada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s hope this film is more faithful to the spirit of the original show than certain other remakes (Mod Squad<\/em> and Starsky and Hutch<\/em> come to mind)! No word on whether RDA will appear in the film. MacGyver has been re-introduced to audiences recently as part of the SNL “MacGruber” skits, which can be viewed at Hulu.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
