CBS is developing MacGyver, a reimagining of the 1985 series about a resourceful and ingenious agent who improvises his way out of sticky situations using everyday items like rubber bands, chewing gum and a Swiss Army knife.
The new series, which comes from Saw and Furious 7 director James Wan, the original’s executive producer Henry Winkler and NCIS: LA executive producer R. Scott Gemmill, will feature a 10-years younger protagonist. Twentysomething Angus MacGyver gets recruited into the clandestine organization from the original series where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening.
Saw and Furious 7 director James Wan, who had been shepherding the project from the get-go, was slated to direct but has pulled out due to a scheduling conflict with post-production on his latest film, The Conjuring 2.

Joa, sieht irgendwie aus wie jede andere CBS Crimeserie. Könnt mir sogar vorstellen, dass das ganz erfolgreich ist. Aber mich interessierts nicht die Bohne, konnte aber auch mit dem Original nichts anfangen – das aber wenigstens Richard Dean Anderson hatte und nicht dieses Kind hier.
