I was a 1AD on a couple of Macgyver movies we shot in England. They had more current & perhaps relevant story lines than the series did & I believe prove that a remake of the show with the right kind of script would be well received. Good Luck! I also worked on SG-1

Sorry Mark. RDA is not God, nor is he irreplaceable.

No actor is.

RDA might have been TV’s macgyver, but that doesnt mean they have to use him in the film. In fact it would be certain death to use him, as it likely would mean that this is a “sequel” or reunion movie for the TV series.

No one wants to see a 60 year old MacGyver trying to be that same guy.

Sorry Rodney….but without RDA, the movie will not be successful. Those of us who grew up with RDA see movies too. Why is it Hollyweird caters to the 20′s and 30′s era…..we spend money too. As for the writer that said RDA is too old to play the part….look at Harrison Ford in Indy #4. He’s a hell of a lot older than RDA and did a great job. No…the movie wasn’t as successful as the others, but once you get into a fourth sequel, it gets repetitive. Having someone else play “Mac” would be a BIG mistake. It would be like having someone play a younger version of Kirk and Spock on StarTrek. Oh wait a minute….they DID do that and the movie sucked big time. It was in and out of the movie theaters in WARP speed. You’ll see it come out on DVD in the next couple months and you’ll be able to pick it up in the bargain bin for five bucks!! But again Rodney….you’re way off base with RDA and MacGyver.

RDA is a MUST for a movie. For those of us who are true MacGyver fans, RDA IS MacGyver. Period. Nobody else can play that part, and have it be the same. Whether RDA is brought back by the Phoenix Foundation to take on an assignment nobody else can handle, or he is helping his son into the field, I am open, but the movie requires RDA. Plain and simple.

Any actor can be replaced.

It doesnt NEED Richard Dean Anderson. In fact I don’t want to see a 70 year old MacGyver.

If they want to make a MacGyver movie, the CANT use RDA.

The name MacGyver is legendary. The guy could make a nuclear bomb out of 2 matchsticks and a paper clip. I think Macgyver has even got it’s own entry in the dictionary….

If your ever stuck in an elevator and the guy next to says “Ill do a MacGyver”, then your in safe hands.

I would love to see the pilot starring Jared Padalecki from Supernatural. Supposedly the WB or CB made a pilot of MacGyver. I would have liked to have seen another TV series since the original was cool and the Mastercard commercial was priceless!!

FILLION in 2012!
I also vote for Fillion to replace that no-talent hack Daniel Craig! lol
OK, sorry, I had to do that. I think Nathan Fillion is the man and could pull off the comedy and action of McGyver, but if he does, that means nobody will watch it. I loved that show, but I hope RDA is in a cameo, or maybe occasionally giving tips to his son, the star of the movie.

Nathan Fillian is a fine actor for sure, but why do his most loyal fans think he can play any role?

It would not suprise me to see him recomended for James Bond, the Terminator or the president of the united states.
