Vote on whether you will go to the theater to see the Magnum, P.I. motion picture (if made) if the original cast (Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti, Roger E. Mosley, etc.) are not used in their original roles.

Yes, out of sheer curiosity, I will see the movie regardless of the cast. It doesn't mean I'll like it, but I'll definitely check it out.

IH,

The way the question is presented I voted..no,never.
Now having said that,I would watch it once it hits an HBO or the like.

Hey Sam,

Yes, you got the meaning of the poll, i.e., would you go to a theater and pay to see the movie. I thought about being more specific, but since I have never posted a "Poll" before I was concerned about the amount of space I had available, so I decided to be as brief as possilbe and to use the words "go and see", which I meant to mean going to the theater and paying to see the movie as opposed to watching on HBO or some other cable channel. Thanks for voting.

Yeah, my brother and I will head off to see it.

Then promptly complain about it after it's done.

As I said in the other thread. I will not pay to go see a piece of junk if that is the opinion at the time. I will rent or buy the DVD when it is available. If the reviews and opinions from this site are good then I might go see it on the big screen.

IH,

I didn't know we could start a poll.I thought only James could do that.

Hey Sam,

You probably already know this by now, but the info on starting a poll can be found under the "FAQ" tab above.

Well, I picked maybe-depending on who the actors are, but for me it really depends on if I think I will like the movie or not. If the movie looks bad I don't really care who is in it.

I voted "No, never" because I don't go to see ANY movies anymore for various reasons. I might be persuaded to rent it if Netflix offered it, though.

Here's an idea. I got it from watching the promos on the new Knight Rider (which I have no interest in, but they were advertising it as not a "new" Knight Rider but an updated one, like 20 years later).

What if they could do that for MPI and have him have a 24- or 25-year-old son he never knew about? (Wasn't it implied that he was intimate with other women early on in the series so technically he COULD have fathered another child?) For example, have him finally retiring from the Navy and his unknown son shows up for the party at, for example, the KKC. And the son is in the Navy, just graduated from Annapolis and got posted to Pearl Harbor? TC's kids are there, and Thomas V gets involved in some mystery with them as his sidekicks. So it could STILL have TS as TSMIV and have the regulars but not as the sole leads. Appeal to both generations?

Now who can we cast as his son? Does anyone look like a young TS the way Brad Pitt used to look like a young Robert Redford? I know! Josh Groban!!

(He CAN act too -- I saw him on a couple of Ally McBeals, and he was good enough.)

Someone else come up with some plotlines with this scenario. I think this has potential . . . .

I vote for Josh Duhamel being TM's son.

golfmobile · #13 Post by **golfmobile** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:52 pm

sophia!!

Wouldn't that just be a HOOT! Can we add James Lesure as TC's son and Camille Guaty (and her dimples) (Piper) to be a grown Lily????

Wouldn't that just be SOMETHING????

Now with THAT cast, I just might like the movie.

P.S. Now we just need to get Hugh Laurie to play Doc Ibold's son, Monk to be a consultant to Hawaii 5-0, along with Chief of Detectives Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick's The Closer) and Denny Crane and Alan Shore to be Robin Masters' lawyers!!

I like your ideas.
I would go see that movie.
Piper would surely have to be Lily.

Excellent suggestion Sophia! (Josh Duhamel as Magnum's son) He's got the height, looks, and charisma factor! We would just need him to grow a big old mustache!

Will you go and see a Magnum, P.I. motion picture if it does not include the original cast in their original roles?
