Here's the new Magnum: http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/magnum-pi-...dez-1202705365/He's 12 years older than Lucas Till, but to me feels even younger than new Mac . ‘Magnum PI’ Reboot Pilot at CBS Casts Jay Hernandez in Lead Role
The “Magnum P.I.” reboot pilot has cast Jay Hernandez as the titular private eye, Variety has learned.
Hernandez will play Thomas Magnum, a decorated ex-Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. Tom Selleck, who currently stars in the CBS drama “Blue Bloods,” played the role in the original series.
Hernandez’s recent film roles include the DC Entertainment film “Suicide Squad” and appearances in both entries in the “Bad Moms” comedy franchise. He has also appeared in films like “Friday Night Lights,” “Hostel,” and in the Netflix fantasy-action film “Bright.” On the television side, he has recently appeared in “Scandal,” “Nashville,” and “The Expanse.”
He is repped by ICM Partners, Alchemy Entertainment and Fuller Law.
Peter Lenkov, the writer and producer behind current CBS reboots of “Hawaii Five-O” and “MacGyver,” will serve as the writer and executive producer on the new version of “Magnum P.I.,” which had previously gotten a pilot production commitment at the network. Eric Guggenheim, an executive producer and writer on Lenkov’s “Hawaii Five-O,” will also write and executive produce. John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment will also executive produce along with Danielle Woodrow. Justin Lin will direct the pilot and executive produce. CBS Television Studios will co-produce with Universal Television.
This is one of several such projects ordered to pilot at CBS. CBS has also ordered a pilot for a reboot of the female-led cop drama “Cagney and Lacey,” as well as an adaptation of “LA Confidential” and a revival of “Murphy Brown.”

QUOTE (denizen @ 5 April 2018 - 05:15 AM) | Magnum was originally a "Team" kinda show but there were a few exceptions. He did not always have his compadres with him. This will no doubt have him stuck indefinitely to his teammates.
Do we have any idea who will play the Higgins character? |
Yep, Rick and TC misses a couple of episodes, Higgins only one. But mostly in the later seasons Magnum is on his own a couple of times and Rick, TC and Higgins only have a cameo.
They just can't leave well enough alone. Magnum was in my opinion alwas more daring then MacGyver. Even though MacGyver is a regular guy as Magnum, he's near-perfect even though he's "not perfect. Yet." Magnum is more flawed, he's sloppy, unorganized, he's the one asking for favors and there are a lot more twists in the episodes, like unexpected deaths while MacGyver will always be just in time to save everyone. There are couple of endings in Magnum that would've never happened in MacGyver. Take a look at Echoes of the Mind, the episodes with Sharon Stone or Did You Seen The Sunrise? Sometimes things happen that Magnum has to learn how to deal with if he couldn't save that person or stop him or her from doing something stupid. But then again that's why Magnum and MacGyver are my two most favorite shows from the 80's. Complete opposites: MacGyver is neat while Magnum is sloppy. MacGyver is asked to help his friends, Magnum asks his friends to help. MacGyver has a fear of commitment, Magnum is more of a ladies man despite a lot of the women he loved died too, but I don't think that makes him fear a commitment.
Whatever makes money, I guess.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

I know others have said this before, but a MacGyver/Magnum crossover would be pretty cool. I mean the originals, not the reboots, since the Magnum reboot isn't out yet.

SPOILER ALERT! Pilot Script Preview by Season Zero: http://season-zero.com/magnum-pi-cbs-pilot-preview/It's a longer read, so just go over there if you want to read the full thing. I only brought some "highlights" back here; the one's that are connected with MacGyver. (...) Our other principal characters are kinda non-existent in the pilot. (...) There’s also another woman, Hannah Boyle, a former CIA Intel Analyst and Magnum’s ex-girlfriend. She was supposed to be dead, until we learn she’s not. Looks like someone run out of ideas (...) We’ll also find our hero on his surf ski, wearing bord-shorts, paddling. Because he’s cool. And the opening scene includes a next-generation space capsule, a space-suit, a parachute and a water Buffalo. Just sayin’! Magnum wants to be cooler than Hawaii 5-0, Macgyver & Scorpion reunited so they’re going over the top and only a good director can make this look good and not too ridiculous. Fast & Furious‘ Justin Lin is probably the right guy for the job. (...) They kept Magnum’s voice-over as part of the storytelling, which is not a good idea if you ask me. It makes it sound old-fashioned. It was not needed but one can argue it’s part of the charm of the original show and it would have been a pity not to use it again. Let’s just hope Jay Hernandez will do it right. Not sure what else I can tell you about this pilot. I didn’t describe Magnum but he’s exactly like you think he is. Exactly like other CBS’s leading men. Nothing new. Well, he’s a latino guy, so there’s that. And about the investigation, it works exactly as in any other CBS procedural. If you like that and if you’re not tired of it, then you should have a ball! (...)

Well, crap. Come on, Peter, you're supposed to be better than this!
