    McConaughey Offered Magnum P.I.? 
    --------------------------------
    Entertainment Weekly reports that Matthew McConaughey
    has been offered the role of Thomas Magnum in Universal
    Pictures' adaptation of "Magnum P.I.," based on the hit
    '80s TV series that starred Tom Selleck.

    McConaughey is reportedly reading the script from
    writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A
    True Underdog Story) and will decide shortly.

    Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment are producing.


Oh dear. I had hoped this silly movie idea had been dropped. Another
great old show gets destroyed by Hollyweird's greed and inability to
think of something new to make.   :-(
