Magnum, P.I. is a yet-to-be released American film adaptation of the 1980s TV series of Magnum, P.I. directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. It is expected to be released in 2009.
In January 2007, it was reported that Matthew McConaughey will play Thomas Magnum, Steve Zahn is Rick Wright, Tyrese Gibson is T.C. Calvin, and William H. Macy is Higgins. Many of the fans of the original series do not like the casting, and some fans of the original series would prefer a reunion of the original cast.[1] It has been reported that Tom Selleck, originally opposed to making a cameo in the movie, has now expressed his desire to appear in the film, but only if he personally approved of the script.[2]
