CIA contact and girlfriend for a mission in North Korea
This is way too similar to a story Lenkov already told on Hawaii Five-0. :roll:

Thanks for noticing, Styles! I'll have to up the ante and post a bit more frequently 8)

Justin Lin, of Fast and Furious lore, to direct the CBS Pilot:

So it seems Peter Lenkov posted a picture on instagram posing with Larry Manetti and a magnum pi crew jacket. Maybe they are taking good advice??
That reminds me of the time....

That’s actually a great idea.

2018 Reboot Wardrobe, etc.

#22 Post by Styles Bitchley »

So much of the Magnum character was unique in terms of fashion. Enough so, that it’s easy to put together a Magnum Halloween costume and people will know who you are.

So what will the new creators use in this updated version? Moustache? Tigers cap? Aloha shirts? Lacoste? Rolex GMT? Short shorts? MIA bracelet?

Discuss...

Good question. The original Hawaii 5-0 had those awful Botany 500 suits in a tropical setting so the reboot dressed the characters in a more casual wardrobe. I'm thinking the only holdover for the Magnum reboot might be the Tigers cap although I would love to see the jungle bird shirts......

I think that if they connect the universe with Hawaii Five-0, he will play the character from Hawaii Five-0 Nicky 'The Kid' Demarco. He has appeared in 6 episodes so far.

Jay Hernandez will play Thomas Magnum in reboot. Very good actor. He is 40 years old, so they did not choose a kid (25 years old) like in MacGyver. And he has the charm that the Magnum had in the original series.

Interesting. Can't say I know the guy - I haven't seen anything he's been in - but that's a good thing. Doesn't look like there's any reference to the old timers (Bellsario, Selleck, etc.) giving any input into the show or the process, which is a shame.

Conch, since it actually looks like this thing is a go, it might make sense to start a new forum for it like there is for Jesse Stone.

I loved him in the movie Friday Night Lights so I will give him a chance. I see they also hired Eric Guggenheim as a writer. He wrote the incredible movie, Miracle.

I will predict this Thomas is sans-mustache......

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hernandez's Magnum will don a Detroit Tigers ball cap as Selleck did during the original series, which ran from 1980-88 on CBS. But no word yet on whether he will sport the sort of mustache that helped make Selleck a star and a sex symbol during the '80s (or if he'll have any sort of mustache at all, for that matter).

I have met Javier a few times, he's buddies with a friend of my sons. Super nice, but he's all of 5'8" maybe 5'9" and maybe 150lbs.

I am 6'2 and 210 and he seemed very tiny.

I personally don't mind the switch to a man of Hispanic origin, I just wish he was 5-6 inches taller.

Assuming the new Magnum wasn't going to be another white guy, I was hoping for a early 30's Louis Gossett Jr type. An actor who could pull off charm, be serious, nice, comedic and a bully when need be.

Meh.

Never heard of the guy, so he may well be a fine actor, I don't know. But he's not Magnum and never will be. Plus if this dude is 5'8" they'll have to cast a midget or a dwarf to play Higgins.
