Actually Lee Zlotoff announced some months ago that he was working on a script
for a feature MacGyver movie.

He was only ever involved in writing the pilot episode, so one would assume that
his ideas would relate to action adventure MacGyver as we saw him in the pilot
episode, rather than the later season MacGyver.

created MacGyver
