MacGyver, on🍌e of the coolest/cheesiest shows of the ‘80s not called The A-Team, ཧmight be headed for the big screen.

For those unaware of this chunk of action excellence, the show featur🦩ed the adventures of government agent Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson), who always managed to find a way out of tri♏cky situations thanks to his uncanny ability to work with the objects around him. Give him s penknife, some wire, a couple of shot glasses and some pencil shavings and chances are he can build a gun.

Now the show’s original creator (and inspiration for the character) Lee David Zitoff has announc𒆙ed that he cannily got the rights to the movie back and is planning a big screen outing for the adaptable hero.

There’s no word on whethꦦer Richard Dean Anderson will take the lead or they’ll opt for a franchise reboot, and the thing doesn’t even have a script yet, let alone finance or any other of those pesky things films need to get made. Still, if it does happen, expect The Simpsons’ Patti and Selma to be second in line. After our man in LA. Can you say “childhood obsession”?
