'MacGyver' set to make a comeback on the big screen
Everyone's favorite DIY super hero is bringing his paper clips and twine to the big screen.
Executive producer Raffaella De Laurentiis is set to turn the popular '80s TV series "MacGyver" starring Richard Dean Anderson into a action-packed feature film.
"We think we're a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise," said New Line's Richard Brener, who will also oversee the project.
As of now, no writer is officially signed on.
In case you've forgotten, MacGyver was an industrious secret agent who always managed to engineer his way - often using materials in his immediate surroundings to make nifty gadgets - out of disastrous situations.
Since the show was cancelled in 1992, fans of the scrappy-yet-handsome MacGyver have only had "Saturday Night Live's" MacGruber character, played by Will Forte, to get their DIY thriller fix.

Hopefully they won't get that Even Steven's kid to play him though. And, I would think Henry Winkler should make a cameo.
