The houseboat as it is today.
The owners of the houseboat originally used to film the MacGyver TV show say they have contacted Raffaella Productions, the company producing the new MacGyver movie, with an offer to use their houseboat once again as MacGyver’s home in the upcoming movie.
“We read about it in the paper and phoned California right away.” They said of hearing the news of the upcoming movie.
The plan to make the MacGyver movie was announced earlier this week by Raffaella Productions in conjunction with New Line Cinema. There’s currently no script or writers associated with the movie, so whether they will need the houseboat or not is unknown at this time, but the offer will be there if they do.
The houseboat was used as MacGyver’s home during the 4 years (season 3-6) the show was filmed in Vancouver Canada, and is still one of the more associated icons of the show. The boat was moored in the Bute Marina at Coal Harbour and subsequently sold and moved as redevelopment of the waterfront area began and production of the show moved back to Los Angeles. Since those days the house has undergone extensive internal renovations and an new paint job externally.
