I watched this programme as Kid, i bought the entire DVD collection recently and am convinced that no one else could ever play the role of Magnum. The original cast or no-cas, I wont spend a peeny on unless its the original cast!

Glenda Giselle Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 02:07 PM EST

Nobody else, at any moment in time, can ever play the role of Magnum P.I. other than the most gorgeous man on earth: Tom Selleck. For me (and I'm sure that millions of Magnum P.I. fans around the world would agree), Tom Selleck is Magnum P.I. No other actor can ever play that role. I know of no actor who is as tall, handsome, and funny and who could sport as mustache so attractively and who has the same soothing voice as Tom Selleck. I was a teenager when I fell in love with Tom Selleck. Till now, I believe nobody was blessed with a personality like Tom Selleck. As I watch the series' DVDs, I become more convinced that the only four actors who can play the four lead characters in Magnum P.I. as Tom Selleck, J. Hillerman, R. Mosley, and L. Manetti. It's true that they are a little older now, but so are we, their adoring fans who will patronize them forever. Besides, Tom Selleck is still as sexy and he always will be. It would be injustice not to have the original cast in the movie.

robert Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 01:15 AM EST

Tom Selleck would be great if recast, but if not i think Ryan Reynolds would be as good as any, he has the height and stature to play magnum and i could immagine him saying dialogue in his head during the movie as magnum always does.

I love tom selleck as magnum as much as the next person. But I think it's clear the original cast won't be used. If they are going to make it a "spoof" like so many of the other remakes in recent years... then it doesn't really matter who plays the characters, because it will probably be stupid anyway. However, if it's a serious remake... i think jeffrey dean morgan would be a perfect magnum. He's sexy, charismatic, looks good scruffy (for those moments when magnum is torn apart) or freshly shaved. AND... he's got the dimples! Anyway... that's my suggestion.

Capt. MEM Thu, May 8, 2008 at 12:38 AM EST

There is only one Magnum and he is Selleck. No other choice. No reason to look anywhere else. No one else could ever ask, "Ivan, did you see the sunrise his morning?" It's Tom or no one!!

andrew taylor Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 09:37 AM EST

russel crow is in talks to play magnum

dutch Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 10:34 AM EST

Tom Selleck is the ONLY choice. The guy rules.

louivillesnuggler Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 09:26 PM EST

Tom Selleck is Magnum. If he can't do it, please give me [INSERT ACTORS NAME]. NOT BEN AFFLACK

Murray Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 04:03 PM EST

Mathew Maconahgh, Dump, Stupid, Bone head idea, not one $1:00 of mine will you get for this stinker,Don't you movie people read these posts, listen to the fans, and then think of the cash register, Magnum is Tom Selleck.

Rob McMinn Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 11:10 AM EST

There is only one Magnum, P.I. and he is Tom Selleck. I hate to see them do some silly spoof.

#1 fan Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 07:56 AM EST

Is it that difficult? The fans want Tom Selleck to play Magnum! It's a no-brainer: If you want the movie to make money, Selleck is Magnum. While your at it, keep the rest of the cast the same as well.

Gregg Scott Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 10:32 PM EST

Magnum is Tom Selleck. Mathew Maconahgh is a metrosexual tree hugger who doesn't know a .45 from a 105mm. Don't worry Hollywood has a very good record of fouling up a great series. Another movie I will not see if it is miscast.

Cameron Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 01:26 PM EST

Tom Selleck is like my hero and no one can play magnum beside Selleck why waste film on a blonde sissy like mathew mconaGAY, Seriously the same cast would be the way to go, is John Hillerman still alive?
cause if he is they better get him before he dies, and film the movie with all the same cast, and with Bellisario as the writer it would BE AWESOME

Allan Craig Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST

Tom Selleck is Magnum PI. Cast all the originals for the best movie. If they want a goofball movie like dodgeball then don't call this one "Magnum PI."

stache master Sat, Feb 9, 2008 at 07:38 PM EST

I don't see any problem with a new cast. I love Magnum P.I. and so what I care about more is that the script be good. I don't want to see some crappy version of a classic. I want that same feel and vibe. The cast only matters to the degree they can pull-off a good script. The script matters. I think Mathew would do a good job or even Jason Lee. Jason Lee has the stache.

Tony Sat, Feb 9, 2008 at 07:27 PM EST

OK,OK,good the movie for Magnum.
I'm sorry for Italy,
ma Tom Selleck è,e sarà sempre l'unico inimitabile MAGNUM P.I.

dont mess up a legend i grew up watching magnum, miami vice and the remake of miami was crap like they say the originals are always better if you screw this one up also like the other great hit shows its cause hollywood has ran out of great talent and need to save their rep by supposively bringing attention (15 min of fame) what was back in the day and always will be no one can replace the best

ralph Thu, Jan 3, 2008 at 10:44 AM EST

These are crapy people to have in the movie. As for the original cast I would have them reprise their role in a made for tv movie bbut to attract a new generation of fans using new actors is the way to go. This would be my picks for characters. For magmun i would have Luke Wilson , For TC I would use LL Cool J, for Rick I would use Craig Kinnear and for Higgins I would get a big star to play him such as Anthony hopkins or even(remember higgins has tocome from the previous generation.

Matthew McClellan Fri, Nov 16, 2007 at 06:59 PM EST

Any Magnum P.I. movie MUST have the original cast. They'll be terrific, and I have no doubt that the old chemistry would come right back. I hope they don't make a knock-off film which blows, like the Miami Vice movie.

janaye Thu, Oct 25, 2007 at 07:58 AM EST

I can't even imagine anyone else but Mr. Selleck and the origianl cast members being in this movie. There is still such a story to be told here. If the baffoons in Hollywood can't figure that out, they are doing anyone who ever loved this show a great injustice. Who do they think is going to come see this movie? The 35 and over crowd that's who. After seeing Tom recently on the show Vegas there is no doubt he is as sexy as ever. why not pick up the story line 20 years later with he and his daughter running a PI agency together? Bring everyone back and give the fans what they want!!!!!!!

Dylan Sun, Oct 21, 2007 at 11:17 PM EST

also, a blond bearded Magnum? C'mon, gimme a break!!!!

Dylan Sun, Oct 21, 2007 at 11:15 PM EST

Might be too late, but howabout Burt Reynolds as Mac? I heard Higgins is 70 odd, that too old? Nah, Higgy baby'll never die!!!!!!

Howie Wed, Oct 10, 2007 at 03:47 PM EST

If Shatner, and Ford, and Nimoy, and Moore can do action films into their late 60's, then why not Selleck. Anything else will kill the franchise, cast a new daughter (or the same one) and make her the primary character. That blends the best of old and new, and will allow the franchise to carry on with the dignity and appeal of the original series. "Hey Ivan, did you see the sunrise this morning?" It's just the right thing to do.

celia Sun, Sep 16, 2007 at 03:12 PM EST

No one can successfully fill Tom Selleck's , et al, shoes. If the main characters are not going to be played by original ensemble, I am not interested in seeing it. And, they must continue with the Lily Catherine storyline.

jeff Fri, Sep 7, 2007 at 10:51 AM EST

Tom Selleck should play himself if a movie is released. I would not watch the movie if the original characters are not brought back...having others act on behalf of Selleck, Mosley, Mannetti etc, is a stupid idea and I think that the movie will fail unless the real character are brought back...

Use the tv cast. I don't understand why Hollywood has to ruin everything it touches. You distroyed Dukes of Hazzard, and Starsky and Hutch don't do it to Magnum.

mike ament Sun, Aug 26, 2007 at 04:31 PM EST

if we assume that it won't be a reunion show, here are some casting ideas. magnum- "the rock" tc- bernie mac rick- steve zaun higgins- kenneth branaugh

Gord W. Sat, Aug 25, 2007 at 06:29 PM EST

I think Ryan Reynolds would make an excellent Thomas Magnum.
He's young, good looking and can pull off any humour you throw at him and can kick any Island bad guy butt.

Chris Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 02:01 PM EST

A friend that works for the studio told me that they don't really want Tom Selleck because he is a conservative Republican.

Jay Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 03:34 PM EST

Tom Selleck should play the part for sure.
If not Tom Selleck then anyone but George Clooney. George Clooney can't play anyone but himself(everyone can see that). Besides Clooney is way too short.
Matthew McConaughey would be better than Clooney.

ALAN L. PEREZ Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 08:45 AM EST

I would rather see Tom Selleck and the crew return. The plot would be that He left the navy in search of his daughter, left with higgins on the estate, coronel ki's brother," still holding a grudge against Magnum,(because of the death of his brother at the hands of Magnum) kidnaps her. So it's up to them original crew to get her back and end ki's life once and for all.......

Edwin Thu, Aug 16, 2007 at 11:34 PM EST

the only problem i can see with 'catching up' with the original cast and characters, is that it would be incredibly depressing. lets face it, the final few episodes of the tv series were not as happy light hearted as the earlier seasons. in a way, you felt sorry for all the characters, as they were getting old and none had families or kids, and just kept running around doing the same things over and over again. the magnum movie would have to be a remake of the genre at that time. trying to make the episode modern would be like trying to make the starsky and hutch movie take place in modern times.... it just doesnt translate. my vote would be for young, look alike actors, lots of humor (not campy but along the lines of the original episode), and the 80's time frame.

Sun, Jun 24, 2007 at 09:17 AM EST

Why must Hollywood, in their infinite lack of originality, take the good name of a great TV series and make a mockery of it by "rebooting" the original concept. There is NO way any actors other than Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Roger E. Mosley and Larry Manetti can do justice to the iconic characters of Magnum PI. What's wrong with picking up the story of their lives 20 years later? Why is every thing geared to 18 to 30 year olds?People over the age of 40 will go see a movie thats WORTH seeing if it's done well. Why not hire the original writers from the TV series to write a movies script? They know the characters and the original actors know the characters. Don't mess with a classic. Going any other way than the original cast would be a major mistake and a definite box office bomb.

Colin Fri, Jun 8, 2007 at 03:54 AM EST

Gotta be Selleck. He's one of the only republicans I respect and definitely the only man who can play Thomas Magnum. It would be total idiocy to hire a hack writer like Thurber to make fun of the Magnum series. A great show like that deserves respect. After all, we're not talking about the "Dukes of Hazzard" or the "Brady Bunch" which were incredibly campy to begin with.
I say let Tom Clancy write the script and play it straight with the original cast. Anything else would be a terriblly arrogant mistake.

the big producers forget, hardcore fans just want to see one more episode of magnum, this is only possible if we keep the original cast members and this goes aswell for the a_team fans. lets boycott both if they dont keep the original casts in. Digitise (Hannibal Smith) in...the a_team movie and there is no other Magnum like tom Selleck.

jack Fri, Apr 27, 2007 at 10:06 AM EST

Original cast. Everyone who has any appreciation for the storyline would want to see where the character that Tom Selleck molded over eight years has gone. Tom Clancy was on board a long, long time ago, and it's an absolute disaster to do a remake when the demographic wants something more interesting and intelligent. Otherwise we'll end up with a steaming pile of 98 minutes that no one will want to touch, like the Starsky and Hutch remake. No one cared about that movie, and it had no shelf life. Anyone who would geen light another disaster, especially when the original source material and cast are still available, is not only a moron, but a moron who needs to be fired.

Jacqueline M Wed, Apr 18, 2007 at 11:21 AM EST

Tom Selleck, Roger Mosley Jr., John Hillermman, Larry Manetti. They have to do the movie. The actors being discussed are all fine in what they do but not for Magnum. That was a one of kind group of guys whose relationships touched those many fans who faithfully followed the show and continue to watch through cable. I would not bother to go see a movie without the original cast.

Matthew McConaughey as Magnum would be a total nightmare. It would flop worse than Sahara, (McConaughey as Dirk Pitt was totally unbelievable-he didn't fit the character, nor act the part, it was a waste of a wonderful and heroic character and a good story--they didn't even change his hair color--and Steve Zahn as the musclely Al was so improbable, you had to rub your eyes to make sure the screen wasn't deceiving you. McConaughey can only play himself, there is no acting involved). Let Selleck play Magnum, even at 62 he's a better actor, and would sell the character better than McConaughey. Don't ruin a beloved character with a guy who should stick to modeling.

coldwarkid Sat, Feb 24, 2007 at 08:16 AM EST

I'm completely on board for a reunion movie that uses all original cast members. If some are not available, kill them off or have them MIA. I really like the idea of spinning a story arc around Magnum's daughter mentioned in some of these posts. An intelligent writer/director/production team could use that angle to give the original fan base what we would like to see and still draw in the current market with 'daughter and friends'. Unfortunately, the dream teams that could pull this off probably couldn't be bothered with such a project. I was also a big fan of Miami Vice back in the day and that remake left me dissapointed.
It is very difficult to carry TV/movie magic across generations.

Mary H. Thu, Feb 1, 2007 at 02:45 PM EST

There is absolutely NO ONE who can replace Tom Selleck. End of story. He is the one and only Magnum...why, in the name of God, would someone cast anyone other than TS to star in the movie? I suggest that all the original actors be brought back for the movie. All of them. Or don't bother to make the movie. And absolutely, without question, do not make it into a farce!!!! How could they even consider that? I will not spend one red cent (and I know many other people who won't either)to go see the Magnum P.I. movie if the original actors are not cast. There will only ever be one Thomas Magnum for me, and for just about everyone else based on this comment board, and that is Tom Selleck. The powers that be should read these comments so they don't end up making a terrible, terrible mistake. Tom Selleck is irreplaceable.

michael j Wed, Jan 24, 2007 at 07:11 PM EST

I think that most people are saying that they want Tom Selleck. As the producer of the film, I would go and find Tom Selleck and see if he can do it. If he will not do it, offer him some more money and be nice to him. If he really will not do it, then go for the next up like george clooney, who I think would actually be very good as magnum, I really want to see a nice ferrari and it must be red. How about the helicopter. It must be the same chopper, with that colored paint job that we remember from the tv series. This is a great movie to remake and Should be lots of fun, and definitely shold be filmed in hawaii, and What about the "Estate" ? You can go to the original estate or find a new one. I will try to see this film when it gets out in theaters! And how about a trilogy! Here is your chance, cast cheaper actors and you will have enough money for a trilogy !!!! However if you cast those names we just discussed you can probably throw away your chances for a new trilogy because they will 'break the bank' and charge millions... well, here's to hollywood...

Mark Tue, Jan 23, 2007 at 12:12 AM EST

The only actor who could get my butt into a theater seat to watch the Magnum movie is none other than Tom Selleck. Yea, he is older and grizzled looking but what the heck? He is Magnum!!!!

Mike Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 04:21 AM EST

Donald P Bellasario shouldn't allow a spoof of the greatest tv show EVER to be made into another slack flick. Quit catering to a lost generation of morons. I'm 32 and grew up watching Magnum as a kid and continued watching all the reruns. I buy the DVD's. YOU OWE ME AND ALL THE LOYAL FANS Universal pictures. I don't want to see anybody but TOM SELLECK, JOHN HILLERMAN, ROGER MOLSLEY, AND LARRY MANETTI.
GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND MAKE A GOOD MOVIE FOR A CHANGE.

Mel Fri, Dec 29, 2006 at 08:51 PM EST

If a Magnum PI remake just has to be made. Let it come from a different angle completley. Let's have Magnum's daughter be the PI and behaving just a little tiny bit inappropriately. She meets and falls in love with a Magnum type character possibley played by Owen Wilson, Matthew McConaughey or Matt Damon. All fun loving sexy actors. Tom Selleck shows up for a exciting cameo as Magnum PI, the one and only! This is the only way it should be remade. And even considering George Clooney is a slap in the face to Tom Selleck and all Magnum PI fans!!!

Chris Sun, Oct 29, 2006 at 04:06 PM EST

tom selleck is not replaceable, he should be casted back into the roll of magnum. george clooney looks alot older than tom selleck and his acting style is to dry and shallow to play magnum.From reading previous articles the whole production seems to be sore . What do expect from the director of the low budget comedy Dodgeball.Hopefully the ones casting will come to thier sense and give the sudience what they want by casting tom selleck
.

Mark Sun, Oct 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM EST

I don't know why studios decide to stupidly remake these TV shows with all kinds of explosions etc, and wonder why the public doesn't buy it. I don't know why the studios don't use the RockFord Files movie models of the late 90's, bring the old show and characters forward, fans of the original shows have an instant link. And seeing an aging James Garner, hobble out of a pickup in pursuit of the bad buys was only a minor problem. And at 61, Tom Selleck could easily play his part as Magnum. Bring the old starts back, it works for at least one shot.

Donny Mon, Oct 2, 2006 at 02:38 PM EST

Vince Vaughn would be a good Magnum. If not Vince Vaughn then someone else so tall that they don't fit into the ferrari!

Robbo Fri, Aug 11, 2006 at 11:44 AM EST

I read someone say remake of Moonlighting which I think is going to happen. This movie will surely flop as well.

Anyway, back to the important issue. Magnum PI is one of the greatest tv show ever and this remake movie will give it a bad reputation. Hollywood ruined Dukes of Hazard movie and others I didn't even bother to watch. All my favourite shows are from the past as a 29yr old, I remember A-team, knight rider, dukes of hazard, chips, prince of bell air, greatest american hero etc. and the ones that hasn't aged very much is Magnum.

Yes Tom Selleck is the ONLY Magnum. But now as a 61 year old, he loses the appeal of Magnum, the charming, heroic, able to handle himself in a situation type of character. A reunion movie would be nice, but never as great as the original tv series and not FRESH. A new approach to the show might be a good thing provided new characters and not copying the tv show or turning it into a stupid comedy.

I guess we just have to enjoy the dvds of the tv series and not try to look for a continuation of them 20 years later as times have changed...and they can't be fully recaptured no matter how good the director, actor or writer. Hollywood try to be original and create some quality films and new tv series and leave the good memory of shows like Magnum PI intact!

TS or nobody!!!! Making a movie with different actors ruins the whole show. I would rather not have a movie than a movie with different faces.

Tom Selleck.

Bill Mon, Jun 12, 2006 at 07:17 AM EST

Tom Selleck is the only one that I would pay to go see in this. The only one that I would buy the DVD of. First of all he IS Magnum, it was not only his looks/build that got people (that's not what I was interested in) but it was his style and that look on his face. Plus Magnum was NOT a liberal, and george clueless or any other lib playing the part would be blasphemy. Selleck just did some TV movies where he still was very convincing in his role as a tough small town sherrif complete with young love interest. He could definitely STILL play this part. The others, I don't know because I haven't seen them in years, BUT, I think they should also be cast if they can be. I've plunked down my money to buy all 4 of the seasons that are out on DVD so far. I haven't done that for other TV shows. And if you want my 2 hours in the seat, and money for the ticket and DVD's you had better cast Selleck (and hopefully the rest). PERIOD.

If the original cast is not chosen because they decide to do a basic reintroduction to Magnum PI rather than a Magnum PI 20 years later type of movie, then I personally think that they should find unknown actors that can do the roles, in terms of matching every nuance possible of the original characters. However, in my opinion the actors must also match as close as possible the originaly actors physically also (not exactly mind you, but to a good extent). Afterall, women loved Selleck because he was tall, dark, handsome, built okay but not incredibly ripped, and because of those long muscular legs. Basically I agree with the one person that they need to get the entire depth of the characters. If someone like George Clooney were to do it, although he is a good actor, I think even with probably the at least 6-inch lifts he would need to come close to Selleck in size, it's just not the same. Also it would be good to actors in the same age range as the original cast was when they started the show (so about 33 to 40).

Well those are my comments for now.

Have a nice day.

TOM SELLECK IS THE BEST. I DONT THINK VINCE VAUGHN DOES'NT LOOK THE TYPE FOR MAGNUM PI AT ALL.EITHER GEORGE CLOONEY DOESNT FIT THE BILL. WONT YOU PEOPLE LOOK AT DOMINIC PURCELL, HE IS SEXY LIKE TOM.

TOM-IS MAGNUM.

ONLY THE ORIGINALLY CAST WILL DO, I WILL NEVER WATCH A REMAKE IF SELLECK AND THE OTHERS ARENT THERE.

Jodust Mon, May 15, 2006 at 12:37 AM EST

Man what a bunch of posts over this short article. Way more than Harrison Ford got over the new Indiana movie. I must agree with most of the posts, I would watch a Magnum movie with Tom and wouldnt give a rats arse about it without him.

Matt Phelan Sat, May 13, 2006 at 09:23 PM EST

Just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks for the many, many people who seem to be echoing my views on the Magnum movie. As a 27 year old guy who grew up with Tom Selleck's Magnum as my hero,I totally agree with you guys. I've seen interviews with him, and he's such a nice guy (have you heard that he shared the $350,000 bonus that he was awarded after one season of the show, by buying cast and crew things like Porsches, Rolex watches, and $1,000 bonuses-talk about a true gent)Like many others, I also get a funny feeling when watching my DVDs of the show-totally cool, and should not be messed with!

dave Sun, May 7, 2006 at 05:26 PM EST

No TS, no watch. I will not go see this. And I will do my best to get everyone I know to boycott as well.

Hugh Sat, May 6, 2006 at 08:47 PM EST

blah,blah,blah. No one cares about TS anymore. And forget about George Clooney, he should do the A-Team movie as the Col. Don't pick up where the show left off. We need a younger, Magnum not an older one. Who will help Mag when he breaks a hip in a fight with a suspect. And how can we forget love interests (every episode) who whats to see grandma and grandpa making out. Come on, Mark Ruffalo or Ben Affleck (with mustache) and give me L.L. Bring Selleck in for a cameo but leave it at that.

Pam Fri, May 5, 2006 at 08:32 PM EST

Tom Selleck and the original cast. That would make it a true classic and it would make the orginal fans want to see it and buy it. Hollywood has ruined alot of classics like "The Honeymooners" "Dukes of Hazzard" just to name a few. Don't do it to Magnum.

Tru Wed, Apr 19, 2006 at 09:11 PM EST

The silence in favor of more Hollygarbage predictability is deafening; but don't be dismayed, gentle reader. The quest for mediocrity shall not be turned away nor shall it even be distracted from it's singular purpose.

paul d. baker Fri, Apr 7, 2006 at 04:45 PM EST

okay,tom selleck is magnum,hillerman is higgins,these characters have one of the most interesting relationships in tv history,nobody can fill their shoes.One can not forget that in the final episode magnum has his daughter from michelle,and the show ends with magnum walking up the beach in full dress uniform holding his daughters hand,after michele his ex wife is killed magnum has new found purpose, and of course higgins would want them to stay with him , this is where the tv show ends and the movie should pick up, with tom as the single dad with a beautiful daughter who he raises and all the mischief that could possibly be thought up!and throw in a ferrari enzo and tom will look great, this should be done with the aging cast and magnums daughter in her late teens.that would be acceptable to this fan,when i was a boy 10 years old every sunday night my fanily would gather around the tv set to watch the show, it was something we always did, i am a grown man 36 years old now and i still catch the reruns on wgn, and they still bring tears to my eyes , episodes that ive seen over and over again,magnum's character is deep,the episode with frank sinatra is a good example,frank is playing the role of a retired cop from the mainland who comes to oahu to seek the killer of his grandaughter, in the end of the episode frank pushes the guy off a building while magnum is watching then tanaka shows up and says what happened?magnum says the guy pulled a knife on frank ,what im getting at is that magnum had his own style of justice, he let frank get away with killing the murderer of his grand child because he understands people,life and death,and the healing process was always a part of the show,people will not see magnum in any one other than tom selleck, and i believe higgins character is the same , just not replaceable,so you might has well bring back all the original cast members because you have a chance to do this right,and in 20 years when were still watching the reruns of the old tv show, you will be able to live with yourself because you got it right when every one was still alive,this show will stand the test of time as it already has, this movie has to be done with the original cast, if it is not, there will always be the question , we shoulda , woulda, could have,please do this right,i think the show was so popular because of the personal relationships between such diverse characters but yet they had so much in common, magnum or tom is my hero ever since i was a little boy, please dont try to fill my heroe's shoes with any one else, please make this movie so all fans of the originl show will actually go to the theatre to see it, sincerely, paul

Bill Fri, Mar 31, 2006 at 10:10 PM EST

It really has to be Tom Selleck as Magnum. As long as he is alive, it has to be him. Nobody, and I mean nobody can play Thomas magnum better than Tom Selleck. Dukes of Hazzard and Starsky and Hutch did not fare well. This should be a lesson learned. Maybe in 20 years from now you would have to have a new cast, but right now the originals work work extremely well. Not to mention how much better the movie would turn out.

Bran.B Thu, Mar 30, 2006 at 06:40 PM EST

If Tom Selleck is not tapped for this role (hopefully ALL the original cast will be); there will be a massive boycott of this film, mark my words!
Without TS, there is no point in any Bellasario investing any money at all.....

Beth Thu, Mar 30, 2006 at 03:22 PM EST

Hey guys ! Let your voice be heard that Tom Selleck should do the movie. Brian Grazer, c/o Imagine Entertainment, 9465 Wilshire Blvd, 7th floor, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Phone is 1-310-858-2000. Maybe if enough fans complain , they will do what we want.

J.waterstone Thu, Mar 23, 2006 at 05:37 PM EST

It will be a sacrilidge to not have Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Roger E Mosley & Larry Manetti reprising the roles they crafted so well. Ah, but this is the modern hollywood we are speaking of - a collection of people who are not concerned with talent; who can not see past the idea that there is more of an audience out there than the youthful no-minds currently eating up all the crap being released.

selleck rules Thu, Mar 23, 2006 at 05:31 PM EST

Of course hollycrap will screw this one up. Everyone knows Tom Selleck will not be chosen to play the role of Magnum. It's all about catering to the no-mind crowd of today's 'young' movie audience. Talent is of no concern to the movie studios these days. And of course, there are no new ideas coming out of the major studios, so why not rehash an old TV show? Yeah, whatever.

Ken Mon, Mar 20, 2006 at 08:17 PM EST

A Magnum movie starring Tom Selleck and friends dealing with todays problems would be much more interesting than a show with all new young faces. Stick with Selleck and all other original actors.

Brian Mon, Mar 20, 2006 at 07:44 PM EST

The only reason they should ever make a Magnum movie without Selleck is if it doesn't get made until after he's dead. (And even then, there are mighty few actors that could fill his shoes.) As someone else said, I don't want a remake with a younger actor playing an all-new Magnum, like they've done with all these other remakes. Besides the fact that it usually ends up not resembling the original at all (how hard would it have been to make Dukes of Hazzard correctly? It only had ONE plot and cardboard characters!) and instead makes fun of even the serious ones (Starsky & Hutch anyone?) I want the big screen equivalent of a TV reunion show. As many of the originals as possible, no new actors playing an old character, and in a big budget script with some balls, not some crappy sitcom version of the TV show. Magnum P.I. is one movie I WON'T watch if it doesn't stay true to the original. And a big part of that is casting Selleck as Magnum.
