Quote:
Having successfully rebooted “Hawaii Five-O” and “MacGyver” for CBS, writer/producer Peter Lenkov is now setting his sights on a reboot of 1980s Tom Selleck-led series classic “Magnum P.I.” for the network, CBS Television Studios and Universal Television

Dubbed an updated version of the original series, the action follows decorated ex-Navy SEAL Thomas Magnum who returns home to Hawaii and re-purposes his military skills to become a private investigator.

With help from fellow vets Theodore ‘TC’ Calvin and Orville ‘Rick’ Wright, as well as that of disavowed former MI:6 agent Juliet Higgins, Magnum takes on the cases no one else will.

The project has scored a pilot production commitment at the network and Eric Guggenheim will write and executive produce. John Davis and John Fox will also executive produce.

The project is separate from ABC’s failed attempt at a sequel series titled “Magnum” developed last year that would have seen Eva Longoria playing the daughter of Selleck’s Magnum.


Here we go again Laughing

*facepalms*

You know what's funny? Women LOVED Magnum PI. Men LOVED Magnum PI. Now they decide to make Higgins female because "the show lacked female characters for our female audience to identify with" and as such, it means nothing about the original or what made it good can exist. The whole series was about how TC and Rick were exploited by Magnum while Magnum and Higgins kept butting heads all the time. Since Magnum was notoriously crazy about girls, making Higgins a woman would make this entire thing crash and burn.

Then again, they wouldn't want it to be like the original anyway, would they? Which begs the point: why the FUCK rape its name like this in the first place?

Was Magnum a Navy SEAL in the original? Otherwise it appears Lenkov lacks imagination and can only write characters who are Ex-Navy SEALs who use their skills to help others.

Hawaii Five-0: Steve McGarret is an ex-Navy SEAL who uses his skills to help others in Hawaii.

Magnum PI 2017: Magnum is an ex-Navy SEAL who uses his skills to help others in Hawaii.

Might as well cast the dude from Hawaii Five-0 and glue a mustache on him.


"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Jay Hernandez (“Suicide Squad,” “Bright”) has been tapped to play the lead role of Thomas Magnum in CBS’ drama pilot reboot of the iconic 1980s action series “Magnum P.I.”.

CBS wanted to add a twist to the classic character played by Tom Selleck in the original. This has included making former MI:6 agent Higgins a woman and now Magnum himself won’t be a moustached hairy caucasian.

In the new take, Hernandez’s Thomas Magnum is a decorated ex-Navy SEAL who, upon returning home to Hawaii from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator.

Just imagine the confusion of a guy who suddenly wakes up after having been in a coma for a few years, he turns on the TV and sees a moustacheless latino Magnum PI, a flat Lara Croft, Melissa McCarthy and friends as the Ghostbusters, a douche teen MacGyver, he looks for a science show and Bill Nye Saves the World pops up, then he watches the news and sees Trump speaking as the US president. It must feel like some sort of Truman Show by The Onion Very Happy Laughing

There are two good things about this - the original lambo and the fact it will be canceled ASAP.





Who am I kidding it will be renewed like that McCrapper McGuyver.

Why did they even bother. Watched the first ep for the lulz and the lead doesn't even have half the charisma of Selleck. Laughing



1 and 2 are still amazing.
