Having problems with message search?
We haven’t had a Mac movie since 1992 (over 17 years). RDA
has done a very funny Mac-themed Mastercard ad, which aired during last year’s
Superbowl, and, during the Oscars, the MacGruber spoofs ran, with RDA donning a
wig, and cringing his way through the segments. We, of course, want to
see him as a guest host on SNL. No word yet, I guess. I agree, we should wait
to see what the screenwriters and producers decide. Perhaps RDA will sign on as
an executive producer, which he was, in a very real sense, during the later
years of the series’ run. He just didn’t have his name tacked onto
the credits as that role.

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.
Here's a couple of really interesting videos of Lee Zlotoff talking about how
he created MacGyver
