Somebody please tell me this is a cruel hoax.
Garth Franklin, of Dark Horizons, is reporting that Teletext UK is reporting that writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber has not only completed his script for Magnum P.I., but has started casting.
According to the story, Matthew McConaughey will play Thomas Magnum, with Steve Zahn as Rick, Tyrese Gibson as T.C., and William H. Macy as Higgins.
Well that certainly sounds like a total disaster in the making. Macy, McConaughey and Zahn all worked together in the big screen adaptation of Clive Cussler’s Sahara which, as you might recall, was a Hyuuuuge bomb.
No, it can't be.
To say this makes me sad would be an understatement.
I can see Zahn as Rick, but the others seriously trouble me.
It sounds like a hoax to me based on the casting similarities to Sahara.
My god… I would be a better Magnum and really that's saying something.
I mean, if they're going that far off the edge why not go all the way, cast Steve Buscemi as Magnum and Chris Rock as TC? Maybe Joe Pesci could be Higgins.
