LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Rawson Marshall Thurber ("Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story") has signed on to write and direct the big-screen adaptation of "Magnum P.I.," the 1980s series that made Tom Selleck a star. "Magnum P.I.," which ran on CBS from 1980 to 1988, followed the adventures of Thomas Magnum, a Navy intelligence officer-turned-private investigator hired by wealthy author and playboy Robin Masters to oversee security on the latter's massive Hawaii estate. Magnum lived in Masters' guest house and drove his Ferrari (the car would become one of the show's signatures), much to the chagrin of Jonathan Higgins III, a proper Englishman who ran the estate. Magnum also continued to take on cases in which he was aided and abetted by his Vietnam vet buddies, notably helicopter pilot T.C. and club manager Rick. Thurber is not making a spoof but rather something akin to the tone of the show, which mixed humor and danger. The story line for the Universal Pictures film sees Magnum, with the help of his former military pals, searching for a missing buddy. Features versions of such TV staples as "Charlie's Angels," "Dukes of Hazzard" and "Starsky and Hutch" have done well at the box office in recent years.

Air Force Cane Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Magnum PI was an awesome show. one of the best of the late 70's/80's... hopefully Tom Selleck can have a cameo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Omar Epps would make the perfect TC. And while he might not have the big screen chops...Thomas Gibson could pass as a Magnum. Castinh Higgins/Rick might be harder. How about Sean Astin as Orville Rick Wright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 I really don't know what to make of this.

RabidFan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thomas Gibson? yeah he's real macho....lol What a great show this was and they rumored of a movie since it left the air...a decade too late I'd say but I'd watch it if it had the original cast in it....i mean if they can do Rocky and Rambo V and Indie Jones IV and Die Hard IV why not....though I doubt ol' Icepick is still alive.
