New MacGyver movie in the works

Remember when MacGyver wasn't just a reoccurring joke on Saturday Night Live? Us either, really, but that doesn't seem to be stopping Hollywood from eyeing it as the next television-to-movie adaptation. Gizmodo reports that series creator Lee David Zlotoff has announced preparations for a new MacGyver film.

MacGyver's been in retirement since his 1994 television movie, MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday. The new film is said to be big budget, with Zlotoff in full control of the property after its film rights confusingly ended up back in his hands. While we have no idea when the project will take no shape, and no formal announcement has been made, things still seem to be in good hands.
