Sheesh!
That uptight yuppie scumbag is soooo not Magnum. Magnum is a totally relaxed character. What's next.. George Wendt as Higgins? Miscast.

Before you ask, Tom Selleck will turn 60 on Sunday (happy birthday Tom), and, yes, he could still kick George Clooney's ass.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He'd even be a bad choice for Higgins. What a disgrace. I bet they'll even have a new theme song. And it takes place in San Francisco. And he's an environmentalist research scientist instead of a PI.

1. Did he really say "Mum"?
2. Why not have Tom play the part. Then I would go see it.

Judging from the wild success of Clooney's "Batman", this will work great.

Dear George:
You ruined Batman.
And you were hidden in a friggin' rubber suit.
Imagine what you'll do to Magnum.

Selleck will turn 60 on Sunday. But we all know the real reason why he won't be appearing in this film.

Clooney is slated to play Magnum PI but there will be some rewrite from the original series.
Magnum will be a Vietnam draft dodger instead of a former navy officer. Will drive a hybrid instead of a sports car. And will live in Vermont instead of Hawaii.
He will also have a drug problem, a gay son and Mr. Higgins will be a cross dresser.
The perfect Hollywood film.

Does he possess enough testosterone to actually grow a pornstar mustache?

Why does Hollywood continue to think that remaking cheesy TV shows and old movies is a good idea? Who really wants to see a new version of Miami Vice or The Pink Panther or this garbage? You tell me there aren't any original screenplay writers out there with new ideas?
