MacGyver starred Richard Dean Anderson and ran for seven seasons on ABC from 1985-92. Two telefilms, also starring Anderson, aired in 1994. There’s currently no writer attached, but according to THR, New Line “hopes to find a script that can acknowledge how the concept has staked a place into pop culture yet still makes for a serious and fun adventure movie: “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 oversee with Sam Brown and Walter Hamada.
