The long rumored "Magnum P.I." movie adaptation is back in the gossip
talk again after seemingly dying on the vine last year.
Teletext UK reports that "Dodgeball" director Rawson Marshall Thurber
has finished his redraft of the script and in a surprise move has
selected much of the cast already.
The report lists that Matthew McConaughey will play Magnum, Steve Zahn
will be his friend Rick, Tyrese Gibson the chopper flying T.C., and
William H. Macy as British landlord Higgins.
This is strange as all but Tyrese played somewhat similar roles in
2005's film adaptation of the Clive Cussler adventure novel "Sahara" -
a good fun action film which sadly bombed at the box-office.
Also strange - a Magnum without chest hair, blasphemy!! - but at least
anyone who has picked up a tabloid mag in the past twelve months has an
idea of what McConaughey would look like dressed only in facial hair
and running shorts.
The plan is to stick with the idea of Magnum and his friends being war
veterans - though Iraq war rather than Vietnam.

rubbish down the toilet where it belongs. :-(

I seriously doubt Paramount would allow that line-up of actors still
under contract for two more Clive Cussler movies.
Hey Freddie, I hope all is well. It's been a long time. Are you still
the NG's favorite curmudgeon, or have you been supplanted? I remember
back in the day I was killfiled by you, but we made up. I'm glad we
did. Glad to see you are still kicking here in the Usenet.

That might depend on the result of Cussler's lawsuit. He sued to make
them stop production on Sahara but the judge said his remedy was to go
for damages after the release. They're fighting it out now, but if he
prevails, I bet there won't be any more NUMA films.

hey CC :)
I guess I'm the favorite curmudgeon, since there's only like 6 people
around any more.
Does that moderated group still live? I went on there once and Colonel
Lance was all over me for no reason and I bailed. Does Bev still post?
Good to hear an old voice!

According to Rawson Thurber's website:
http://www.rawsonthurber.com/news.html
"January 24th, 2006
Rawson will be writing and directing the upcoming Magnum, P.I. for
Universal. The tone of the film will be very much in the vein of
Beverly Hills Cop. No moustaches. No short-shorts. No cameos. But lots
of fun."
FWIW...

And probably no "Magnum PI" as we know it, as usual. :-(
