'MacGyver' getting revived as feature film


March 15, 2009 New Line is using twine, bubble gum and a pencil to throw "MacGyver" into development as a feature film. Atlantis and SG-1 fame, starred as an incredibly resourceful secret agent for the Phoenix Foundation who frequently would escape from dangerous situations with ingenious and lightning-quick engineering trickery. No writer is attached, but the studio hopes to find a script that can acknowledge how the concept has staked a place into pop culture yet still makes for a serious and fun adventure movie.
