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.

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?

I'm all for TS playing the part as he originally did! None of this Gclooney business. And...who calls their mom mum when you're raised in America? If he'd been raised in England...fine...but America? Ick to Gclooney.

Going to TV is a great move George. Sort of like going from a CEO to a mail clerk.
Tom Selleck is twice the man you are George! We don't know what his political opinions are but you cry retreat like a baby with yours!
End Rant!

Look at his record. He's had four movies make over $100 million: Batman and Robin; A Perfect Storm; Oceans 11 and Ocean's 12.
The first was a franchise--he didn't make it that money. In fact, his entry killed the franchise until last year.
A Perfect Storm was a huge bestseller--he didn't make it a hit, the scale and subject matter did.
Ocean's 11 and 12 were ensemble pieces and remakes.
George is a multimillionaire who can't make a hit. Of course he needs to rely on yet another person's success, as with those four movies above, to keep up the illusion that he's a box office draw.
Check out the other movies on that link, the original projects in which he is central. Compare their box office with their production costs, and womder about the bizarre minds running Hollywood.

Film bosses believe the handsome star would be perfect as the suave private investigator, played by Tom Selleck in the classic TV show. First thing you oughta do is actually watch the TV series. If they think Magnum was suave, they never watched the show. The character was constantly messing up, running through cases like a bull in a China shop. Suave would not be close to an accurate description of Magnum.

I was silent when they released Saved a couple of years ago.
I said nothing when they aired the blasphemous Book of Daniel.
I stood by when they cast outspoken homosexual activist Chad Allen in End of the Spear.
But I can remain silent no longer. How dare they desecrate the memory of Magnum PI!!

The doe-eyed, pouty, one-note Clooney as Magnum? ROFL
Selleck's the man for that role & always will be.
