A ‘MacGyver’ movie and TV show are coming

Ingenuity, duct tape, a Swiss Army knife, and whatever else is lying around are needed to show the young ones that you sometimes need more than a smartphone to get things done. To give them a look of a world before mobile devices, a MacGyver movie along with a new reboot series will be coming. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer made the announcement during a recent earnings call with analysts. He didn’t reveal too many details about the new TV show CBS ordered as well as the movie. But he did say the film will be produced by series creator Lee David Zlotoff and Neal Moritz, who also produced the Fast And The Furious franchise. The series will be a prequel to the original TV show. And since they’re both Lionsgate projects, we want to assume that they’ll be somehow connected.
