Naw, they should do a movie with the original cast. Just get James Cameron to direct and have it come out in 3D!!!!!!

We'd have to update it a little bit. I know where we can get a good deal on a cell phone for Magnum.

Yeah, he definetly needs a cell phone. And a laptop, so he doesn't have to secretly use the Kronos anymore!

If you remember the movie "A Mighty Heart" - about the kidnap and murder of reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan - cell phones played a very big role in that film.

I'd expect that the 'modern' Magnum - and in my mind's eye he is 64, not 34 - would have to know about cell phones, laptops and the Internet, all of which add new depth to the stories. These very things are why Sue Grafton's gumshoe Kinsey Millhone is still in the 1980s, as they add new layers that Ms. Grafton did not want to deal with.

So I can see Thomas pecking away at a laptop... :-)

Sue Grafton needs to get with the times. If I want a flashback, I'll watch MPI!

I'm flogging another Magnum P.I. story and hope to have it posted on FanFiction in a few days - there I have set a goal! :-) It is a sequel to "All These Years." Thomas will be dealing with cell phones, laptops, etc and other electronic ephemera of today.

The title is "Remembrance" and I was given a good nudge by Higgins in year 2, episode 14 "Computer Date" which I just watched today. It was very fortuitous.
