twine, bubble gum, pencil ... sounds familiar ?

if not ... well, you're obviously too young

New Line is using twine, bubble gum and a pencil to throw "MacGyver" into development as a feature film.
.....
"MacGyver" was a science-oriented adventure series that ran from 1985-92 on ABC. Richard Dean Anderson, later of "Stargate: Atlantis" and "SG-1" fame, starred as an incredibly resourceful secret agent for the Phoenix Foundation who frequently would escape from dangerous situations with ingenious and lightning-quick engineering trickery.

PLEASE don't screw this up with a lousy screenplay.

I'm afraid it must suck without the real MacGyv...uhm, Jack O'Nei...uhmm, the guy that played them.

While you're at it why don't you wish for it to rain beer.

Already did that earlier today - no luck

I first thought it were alternative objects to "rock, paper, scissors", similar to the alternatives introduced in "That 70's show": "foot, cockroach, nuke"...

Dunno if MacGyver leads itself well for a movie: in any story-line, at most 3-4 solutions could be found before it becomes ridiculous...

Plus it wasn't really a story-driven series, more character-driven. And there's only one MacGyver...
