Where's that vomit spewing emoticon? Sorry . . but I don't think Matthew has the "lightness" needed to be Magnum. He's good on LOST, but I don't think he has the range.Buck wrote:EXCELLENT PICK!!!!MACattack wrote:Matthew Fox from LOST?
Matthew Fox would make a great new Magnum. He is probably one of the few that could capture the younger years of Magnum.

I have never seen Lost, but I watched Party of Five when it was on. Matthew has a light side much like TS had in the early years.ConchRepublican wrote:Where's that vomit spewing emoticon?

I'm quite sure a movie could be great if Studios don't want to make a new movie, with new cast, new ferrari, new shoppers, and a full bunch of special effects..
If they take the old crew, do a story with it, including the fact that the time have go, and that they are now old (plenty of things can be imagined in a plot/tagline, if they don't want to do a "new" magnum with "new" people), it could be a big success.
2 generations now know and like Magnum, so, there is a real market.
Except if they give us a bad movie remake of a good tv show as was the "Wild Wildd West", for instance

I am relatively new to the site, and just learning my way around it.N1095A wrote:What sounds like part of a TS Phone interview regarding the movie.

I'm super glad I came across this phone interview with Tom talking about the Magnum P.I. Movie. I also loved the Star Trek analogy.
Personally, what I would love to see in the Magnum P.I. Movie is if they did what J.J. Abrahms did with his Star Trek Movie.
Reboot the franchise by casting younger versions of the original cast, along with modern day versions. Eg. Tom, Larry, Roger, and John as they are today.
STAR TREK (2009) to me was brilliant because it basically took Gene Rodenberry's original vision and updated it from the 1960's to today's technology and told the story of how they all came together.
Zachary Quinto's and Karl Urban's performances were stand out performances in the way that they captured the spirit/essence of the character throughout the TV Series by Leonard Nimoy and Deforrest Kelley.
My ultimate dream would be for the Movie to focus on the events that were touched on in Season 3's, "Did You See The Sunrise," when TM & TC are POW's and are tortured by Ivan and that it ends with them all ending up in Hawaii.
