MacGyver is Coming to the Big Screen!

[dude stannis]

This needs to be redone as a Taken style thriller starring Steven Seagal finding ways to snap peoples necks with paper clips, dental floss and a spork.

MACGRUBER!!!!
Takin' everyday contraptions and gettin' outta sticky situations.

MACGRUBER!

I loved this series as a kid, and would love to see a big budget movie (if done right).

As a silly fanboy, I'm gonna suggest Nathan Fillion as MacGyver.

Yes.

 

[Kent]

Aren't there better shows they could make into a movie?

A better show than MacGyver? That would probably cause my head to cave in from the awesomeness.

Alas, there is no such show, and you damn well know it.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Awesome idea!

...15 years ago. *Digs grave next to X-Files: I Want to Believe*

 

[Nivek]

Sean William Scott for MacGruber!!!!

I agree. I loved this show.

But I'd prefer a film about a school teacher who's given a super suit by some aliens. It's an interesting idea, no?

 

[Dope Nose]

Maybe it'll be about his son

or his nephew

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Wouldn't be surprised if they funny it up. Richard Dean Anderson mentors Kevin James and he gets into his fat guy wacky and misadventures and saves the day at the end. Cha-ching.

 

[That-Guy]

Lmao.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

The only way it can work is if This is the Son of Macgyver from the shows end carring on his fathers crazy abilities and have ofcourse his father come ina ona the bigger problem towards the end

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

I like this version better...

 

[GhostPoet]

This should only be done one of two ways....RDA reprising the role, taking place in modern times.

Or make it a spoof...have RDA show up in a cameo and a new actor to portray the spoofed character.

 

[terry78]

You can't really take it too serious, like Mann did with Miami Vice, nor do you want it to be a straight parody, like Charlie's Angels and Starsky and Hutch...you need a nice medium. I would use the Indy franchise as an example....it was played straight, but the hero was self aware.

You know, because of SNL this idea was greenlight. MACGRUBER is one of SNL's new classic skits that have sparked a lot of attention over the years. And I have no doubt that because of those skits MacGyver is being made.

 

[ntbone]

this is awesome news! i made this today in honor:

click for hi res

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

That's pretty cool.

 

[Dr Lee]

I don't think that RDA is able to play Macgyver nowadays.... i mean that purely in a stamina physical sense of the term, not that his acting abilities have dropped.

They could have him mentoring someone, maybe his son, but i don't know if they can do a live action Macgyver with RDA in the lead role....

UGH

Those MACGRUBER skits are some of the most unfunny pieces of trash SNL has ever done. How these get greenlit week after week I don't know. If you honestly like these and find them funny, you need to be shot in the face.

There's lots of better reasons than that to shoot terry78 in the face.

Spoiler

Only joking, Terrance :heart:

 

[ross2287]

Yeah, either RDA or Will Forte.

Gah, you beat me to it!
