I think if a movie is made it is going to be a spoof. I keep thinking of the Starskey and Hutch movie they made everytime I think of a Magnum movie. You would probably see pretty much the same thing.

Apparently, (read it last week Friday) Ashton Kutcher is going to be playing the part of Tom Magnum in the upcoming Magnum PI movie. George Clooney dropped out, and let Kutcher take the role b/c he likes the TV show. Here's the article:

There's been stories/rumours like this popping up on the 'net for years now. I won't believe any of it until I see an actual press conference.

I'm with you Styles. At the end of the article it stated that there might be a part for Demi Moore in the movie. I think she'd make a great "Digger" Doyle. I still think Jeffery Dean Morgan would make a much better Magnum than Kutcher would. JMHO!

How about Tom Selleck as Magnum?
And James Walters as Robin Masters!

Then that would be 'Robin Masters as himself'...

Turn the W upside down, curl the L into an S and Walters becomes Masters.
I believe Robin has chosen the name James to honor one of his favorite writers, James Joyce.

You know it.

As much as I would have to vote for Gerard Butler as a fellow Scot. I would rather see no film being made in my lifetime rather than the film being made without the original cast

Dan: Nice name dropping of James Joyce!

Alexander J. Colvin: I'm a Scot and I highly agree with you! Nobody can replace the chemistry of Selleck, Mosley, Manetti and Hillerman!

They can reboot all the classic shows they want, but all or nothing for MPI!

I always wanted to see a remake of "GOOD TIMES" with Dave Chapelle as J.J.

Dave Chapelle would probably be a better JJ tjan Jimmie Walker himself. That is one remake I'd pay to see if he were in that role!

Can´t believe that Magnum P.I fans wants to see any others than the original cast in a possible movie. Tom Selleck IS Magnum, and NO ONE can replace John Hillerman. Rick, and TC could probably be replaced cause those characters don´t quite have the same depth. But all in all they can´t find a foursome with that strong chemistry together. I would say it´s a lot different with a show like A-team where every character are paperthin.

I say don´t ruin it! Don´t wreck the heritage.
Onion´s extra?
