Grab your paper-clip and chewing gum grenades and get ready for the greatest masterpiece ever to hit the silver screen. As Gizmodo.com reports:

Today at Maker Faire 2008, MacGyver creator (and real life inspiration) Lee David Zlotoff announced he has a big budget MacGyver movie in the planning stages.

Zlotoff mentioned he somehow ended up with the movie rights years ago (extremely uncommon), giving him full control over the film. While few specifics were mentioned, and no formal announcement has been made, its extremely promising that the man with the power to make the film is getting the ball rolling. The question is…do you bring back Richard Dean Anderson as old MacGyver, or bring in a younger, Christian Bale-type to reprise the role of makeshift gadget god?

So, basically, this movie is going to be either sweet or the worst piece of crap ever made. Have you ever been to Makers Faire? If your friend who liked it told you about, he’d say, “It’s got people welding sh*t and battle-bots, and all types of rad contraptions.” And you’d think it was sweet. But when you go, it’s actually just just douchebags in top hats and people with barely enough social skills to hold a conversation. Then again, the real-life MacGyver seems to like it. So I’d say it’s worth the trip.
