A Knack For Mac

New Line Cinema is developing a feature film version of the 1985-92 TV series MacGyver says The Hollywood Reporter.

Richard Dean Anderson starred in the series as an incredibly resourceful secret agent for the Phoenix Foundation who escaped from dangerous situations with ingenious and very-quick tricks using everyday objects



No writer is attached but one is being sought who can meld both a serious and fun adventure movie with the acknowledgment of the character's place in pop culture.

Dino De Laurentiis will be executive producing the film, with his daughter, Raffaella De Laurentiis and series creator Lee David Zlotoff.

The notion of MacGyver as a flick has been around since last year--This just means it's one step closer to happening.
