Oh my Gosh….

Hollywood is really out to destroy all the old favorites of my generation…

Several different outlets (Sci Fi Wire, Just Jared, JoBlo’s Movie Emporium News) are reporting that there is a new MacGyver Movie in the works…

I can’t help stating that if the plans are anything like the dozens of remakes before it, of other TV series, they will probably play it up with sight gags, bad humor, and as a half hearted spoof of the series.

Please Hollywood, hear this plea:

Stop twisting and distorting our old favorite TV series and Movies.  If you are going to remake a series, please keep the spirit of the series in mind!

And as an exclusive… We have an exclusive photo of the upcoming MacGuyver star in costume…

‘A paperclip can be a wondrous thing,’ the ever-so-resourceful MacGyver has said. ‘More times than I can remember, one of these has gotten me out of a tight spot.’

New Line’s Richard Brener said, ‘We think we’re a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise.’

SciFi Wire’s coverage –

New Line is developing a movie based on the hit TV series MacGyver, which turned Richard Dean Anderson into a star, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

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.
