Today at Maker Faire 2008, MacGyver creator (and real life inspiration)
Lee David Zlotoff announced he has a big budget MacGyver movie in the
planning stages.
Zlotoff mentioned he somehow ended up with the movie rights years ago
(extremely uncommon), giving him full control over the film. While few
specifics were mentioned, and no formal announcement has been made, its
extremely promising that the man with the power to make the film is
getting the ball rolling. The question is...do you bring back Richard
Dean Anderson as old MacGyver, or bring in a younger, Christian
Bale-type to reprise the role of makeshift gadget god?
We'll see.
