Should Tom Selleck be Magnum in the Movie?

Simple answer - no.

I found a blog that wants him to reprise his role in the movie.. http://selleckismagnum.blogspot.com/

Here's the comment I made (just in case he gets all 1984 and deletes it):

The problem with your proposal is that Selleck is too old to play the role; not because he can't be an action hero but Magnum P.I.'s premise was that he was young, a PI and a lady's man. Sure, he can prolly get away with the lady's man part be he ain't no spring chicken anymore. And, sure, he IS Magnum P.I. but then the story would have to change to accommodate his being older and then if you bring in Selleck, you'd have to bring in the original T.C. and the original Rick and then the original Higgins. And since they're thrown in, the original Dobermanns, too (and, speaking of dog-years, they'd be ancient by now).

I mean, have you seen those Mastercard commerials that brought back old tv characters (esp. the one with MacGyver's Richard Dean Anderson? I thought that was extra cool but, man, he's OLD!)

Then, what about the A-Team movie? Are we going to petition that they bring in Mr. T as BA Barracus? Cos NO ONE should be able to play BA other than Mr. T. And Miami Vice - Colin Ferrell as Sonny? Only Don Johnson should be Sonny Crocket. Seeing Colin in one of those suits just made it.. wrong.

But, they did it anyway.

It's time to let the new generation have their own Magnum PI. We had Selleck - they can have... hmm.. who'd make a good Magnum?

Guy Pearce?
Jake Gyllenhaal?
Yeah, I can see Ben Affleck as Magnum...
David Hasselhoff? (Just kidding!)

And don't get me started on the whole Knight Rider movie.

Sorry, but no vote here.
