Looking at his IMDB page... he's a wannabe actor.

He's had minor uncreadited roles in a hand full of known movies and TV shows and that's it so I'd say your first instinct was right... just trying to get attention by using hashtags.

Just naming your insta account "Mr Hollywood" is pretentious as hell anyway... but who knows - the Location fits; they did shoot some Scenes on that Airport. Maybe he actually had a minor (probably non-speaking) role (e.g. in the audience of the press conference) in the Pilot and hasn't realized yet it's been scrapped?

Look, they pushed production to Amsterdam - now I know why you mentioned marijuana being involved

That's just a joke of course by Aaron Kübler who finally found MacGyver's home in the Netherlands via https://www.instagram.com/p/BF_JqrHTOts/

Thats Brilliant!

I've finally got round to watching the trailer.

You know what?
That actually looks pretty good

Yep it did look good, but there's some things that need to be changed, so hopefully that's what they'll do.

So.... if you want to play a part in the Reboot Pilot Episode 2.0, now there's your chance via https://twitter.com/zombiecatprod/status/737730328723345408

I guess the rumour about production moving to Atlanta seems true then:

Looks like. Still, this could improve the budget of the show and they can use it for better production values.

Atlanta? Wait a second... this means they're doing a cross-over with The Walking Dead, aren't they? WOOHOO!!!!!! Mac Vs. Zombies!

(just please don't have Mac doing the black-face routine again, like he did in Season 7's "Walking Dead" episode, okay? Thanks.)

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't dare doing something like that nowadays... At least I hope they don't!

I like Zombie stuff, but I never really liked that episode.

Don't know what this means (location? acting gig?)... but congrats. Hopefully, we'll find out more.

Dash, our investigator on the prowl.

I'll try, at least!

So many people are using the MacGyver Hashtag, it's sometimes very difficult to differentiate if it's relevant for us or not... On the other hand, Lucas Till fans are not very easy to find. In the Twilight fandom for example, some people know every time one of the stars is stepping outside their house or doing work for a new project. I don't even know what side of the planet Lucas is at the moment, so I don't even know if they've already started preproduction/reshooting.

Interestingly, many people (e.g. the writers) are suddenly very quiet on social media. There probably hard ad work or hiding something

Well it is all very appreciated!

Yes absolutely. Keep up the good work Dash. It's interesting seeing the timeline of posts in here go see how it all unfolded.

Great work.

I see the MacGyver Writers on Twitter are now following MacGyver Online. Congrats!

I did see Peter Lenkov retweeted MacGyver Online's tweet connected to correcting the Department of External Affairs into the Department of External Services, and the retweeted tweet was actually something that said it's the little details that make the difference, if I'm correct? Peter Lenkov retweeted it, saying he agrees.....and now, if you check the official MacGyver 2016 page on the CBS website, you'll see the description of the show already changed the Dept of External Affairs to the Dept of External Services. They seem to really care about the show well to care for the fans.

I still feel this is going to be a reboot. Which I am happy about over all I am still hoping they focus on the espionage elements of the original.

I think a continuation using Macs son has a much greater chance of working, but if they are going with the reboot they must remain aware of the original and in both cases they need to make it look and feel like an updated representation of the character we know which is why I think the fans pushed back about his hair. It was just TOO out of place and wrong for that character.

The big problem CBS have is that we know what MacGyver looked like in high school; we know he went to Western Tech university and studied physics and even won the barricade contest in 1973. We have so much history built up from the show, and it's that history and that show that we love, so asking us to either ignore or let that go to start over is a very misguided idea. Yes there are a handful of fans who are willing to play along with that idea, but the majority of fans, it would seem, are not willing to stray from that path which leave the CBS crew with 2 options...

1. Make the reboot fit into the existing universe which isn't actually that hard to do. There are plenty of gaps to be filled or used in the existing history line, but it needs to be THAT history line, not an alternate line.

2. Continue the story using Angus' children. Follow his son as he leaves University and get's drawn into the DXS. This would allow subtitle reference to the original show AND give them creative freedom rather than being confined to the historic timeline of characters and organizations.

Another confirmation about production moving to Georgia, Atlanta:

Georgia’s film industry is on fire. According to Georgia’s Help Wanted Hotline, CBS is going to film the MacGyver reboot in Atlanta, Georgia. In fact, producers are now hiring crew members to work on the new TV series.

(...)

Producers for the MacGyver are currently hiring all crew positions on the new TV series in Atlanta, Georgia. If you are interested in working on the TV series, e-mail your resume to macgyverprod@gmail.com. This is for crew work only. DO NOT APPLY FOR AN ACTING JOB.

So I guess if they're not (yet) looking for actors, they haven't started filming...

I would take that to mean that they will get the actors through the usual agents etc in Hollywood rather than having wannabe's turn up on their doorstep wasting everyone's time.

RDA was a hippie! I shoulda known!!!

I was speaking briefly with the head of acquisitions for a TV station here in Ireland, At this point, I must be very careful not to reveal their identity, or say anything which may have been told to me in the strictest of confidence, but let me try and surmise.

They had been one of the privileged, to be invited recently onto the Paramount lot for the CBS’s international distribution event which unveiled new shows to foreign buyers.

When asked had they seen the 20 minute cut of the MacGyver Pilot. They said, It was one of the main talking points after the event, and was by far the show you went away thinking about. They said that they had been pre-warned in advance, that there would be some reconstructing to certain elements of the show once in production, but they said "It certainly didn't take away from what they watched - it was full on, and kept you interested for the full 20 minutes - and surprisingly... you wished you could see more. "Great chemistry between the lead actors" and they said... "It's really hot property".

They were even more impressed by Peter Lenkov's speech and his general direction for the series, and how it would be current, different, yet having a nice nod to the past."

I can't say much more, but suffice to say... I came away, very happy and impressed with what I heard.

Great I am hoping the show does well. Earlier on Kiwi asked about the original timeline versus the new one and in my opinion I think we all have to ask ourselves one question is Macgyver Immortal? And before people say no hear me out Bond was originally a Veteran of world war 2 but as time went on he became a veteran of other conflicts most recently Iraq and Afghanistan. As time moves on characters are changed and adapted to fit the modern world. While I feel this can work with Macgyver (and indeed this is what Lee Ztollff believes as evidence by the comic book and new show) but as fans we have to ask the same question and understand the answer in our own way. I feel even the original show started doing that as well (for example the time travel episodes as well as certain elements of Macs background being altered to show modern views) but for others they feel Macgyver is a product of Regean era America and can only exist there.

I do hope the show is successful and we all can enjoy it

Well said, Macgyver12186

You should have been a politician, you would have given Trump a run for his money

That's not really saying much though is it.

Casting seems to be underway. Guess it won't be too long now until they start shooting again...

Could this tweet mean Ted Danson is set to be cast in MacGyver (oh, a Villian role...PLEASE !)

Now it could of course, just be a plug for his best friend ... and be something and nothing.

Just thought that I would highlight this.
