Another video from Press Day on set via http://wrbl.com/2016/09/14/behind-the-scenes-of-macgyver/

New Tidbit from the article:
Justin Hires plays MacGyver’s best friend on the show. The character Wilt Bozer is oblivious to everything and he has no idea that MacGyver is part of a top secret organization for the U.S. government. Hires said, “I walk in with a prosthetic mask and MacGyver doesn’t know that it’s me and he drops me to the ground and he tries to beat my behind. He pulls off the mask and I’m like man what is wrong with you.”

SPOILER ALERT!

3 first clips via http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/07/macgyver-...romotional.html

Nice, I like Till's demeanor as MacGyver.

Were there supposed to be three clips? I only see the interrogation one.

Edit: Nevermind, found them.

He's great, in my opinion!

And there is one thing we can stop crying for - he's everything but not COCKY at all!

Jack: "Can You stop it?"
Mac: "I don't now!"

So much better than in the trailer! What a relief...

Here's a more accessible YT-Version of Sneak Peek 1 via Hot Bench:

Sneak Peek No. 2:

And Number 3:

I don't think we had that one in good quality yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf_zIrecTmM

Well, the Nikki Carpenter one should make some Nikki/Mac fans happy... XD All in all, looks like a fun episode!

The previews look good. I still don't like the line, "You know how you hack computers? I hack everything else." It kind of makes it sound like he's bragging about being able to do MacGyverisms. I preferred the way the original Mac just kind of did them without telling people he does them. But, that's a minor quibble.

Well, to be fair, the original MacGyver had a few lines like that... one that comes to mind is from Pirates:

"You know, you guys are missin' out on a great deal, if you kill me. I can help you. See, I'm kind of an expert with just about everything."

There's a fine line between bragging and confidence. One can be confident without being arrogant. Just depends on the context and personality. Believe it or not, I've met many people that I've originally thought were arrogant, and found out later it was just front... mostly due to nerves and high expectations. I had to learn not to take people at face value before getting to know them.

Good point, I forgot about that line.
Also, I assume the "I hack everything else" line was put in the first episode as a way of introducing Mac's character to the audience. Most likely, he won't constantly be telling everyone that.

So we know now that Nikki was in the team. And then she betrayed MacGyver.

I guess so. But Peter Lenkov said in an interview (before they even started Shooting) that he wants to build the "Big Bad" over the whole Season and so far Tracy has only been Shooting the Pilot Episode... since Wan confirmed that Murdoc will be back, we might have 2 bad "guys" for the Season finale?

I like that sneak peek 1 that helicopter scene, but did they use any color correction on that, because I can get exactly same colors with my Nikon DSLR without any color corrections, that scene have little bit a video look.

I was more puzzled by Sneak Peek No. 3, because the lighting Looks different - I thought Lucas looked "photoshopped" (like the lightning smoothed his features out)...

I don't know much about such stuff or anything about James Wan's filming style. I know that sometimes previews are a bit edited for better pacing (mostly faster to make it look more "actiony"). And it's possible that they shot the scene on different days (Stunts with second unit) with different weather conditions so it's possible that they used some color correction.

In the Rising, MacGyve seems to use a victorinox 2 layer and 3 layer knives.
