Posted June 19, 200619 yr after miami vice it seems that fellow menandmotors retro programme miami pi is gonna get a big screen make over Affleck to play Magnum PI? Friday, June 16 2006, 16:23 BST - by David Cribb Ben Affleck has been touted as being perfect for the lead role in Magnum PI. Charles Floyd Johnson, a producer of the TV series in the eighties, has suggested Affleck would be the prime man for the part in the new movie adaptation. Vince Vaughn and George Clooney have previously been linked with the movie, but Johnson insists it is Affleck who should star. Johnson said of the new film: "I think it will be wonderful. Unfortunately it won't star Tom [selleck]. He was asked to do six or eight TV movies and at that time he really wanted to do it as a feature, so he held out on it and probably now they will consider him too old to do it." however any fans of Tom Selleck and Magnum PI from the first time it was out? was it one of the big shows of the period? primetime on itv or bbc?
