I was recently in Las Vegas attending a collectors show. I happened to see Mr Selleck there. Very nice man!! I asked him about the movie and if he was going to be in it. Sadly, he said they aren't going to do the movie.
I hope this situation changes and I hope he could play the role. He still looks plenty fit. Maybe a reunion show could still be done some day with the original cast. I hope so.

Tom Selleck is 64 (born 1945)
Jonathan Hillerman is 77 (born 1932) and it is claimed he has retired. "Higgins" was "born" in 1918 which would make the character 91!
Larry Manetti is 62 (born 1947)
Roger Mosley is 71 (born 1938)
In 1988 at the end of the shows run TS was 43. But you never know. It seems like the door has closed, doesn't it? :-/

I wouldn't mind so much at this point no matter what. It would be nice to make it official at least somehow if there won't be an original cast movie. If there will be a new cast, at least let us know. It's a common theme these days for all of the shows in that era. Whether they make a movie (A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard etc) or a continuation series (Knight Rider), I would be at least somewhat satisfied.
One thing I wish the cast would do is at least hold a reunion press conference. The cast of Greatest American Hero did it recently at Comic Con in their works to revive the show (and they're making a movie and an animated internet series). I've posted the short interview on the thread under "other tv shows" if anyone wants to take a quick look. It's something like THAT I wish I could see the 4 main characters do, just to say "hello" to all of us...wouldn't you agree?

Robspace,
You nailed it. The time has passed and the ship has sailed. Universal missed a huge opportunity. The mid to late 90s would have been perfect for a movie. MPI was still huge in syndication at that time and the actors were still in great shape.
Selleck is still in great shape and Mosley appears to be as well. Manetti is fat and Hillerman is older than dirt. Oh well, we still have the DVDs of the show...

Who's Dot Matrix, and what has she got to do with this?

Reported on MSNBC Entertainment page that "The Rockford Files" will be getting a reboot on TV. Dermot Mulroney will play Jim Rockford.

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
