Magnum P.I. Movie?

Today at work I brought up the fact that the Duke of Hazzard & the A-Team were recently brought to the big screen - how long before there's a Magnum P.I. movie?

We started talking about our ideal cast, and we felt Rampage could pull off TC, just as he did B.A. in the A-Team, which naturally lead us to Bradley Cooper for Magnum. Since this discussion, I've come up with several other ideas for Magnum: Vince Vaughn, or Edward Burns if he put on a couple pounds, Chris Pine or Chris Hemsworth would work ten years from now, I would go with Christian Bale if I didn't think he's a total dick, my number two is Jason O'Mara (from Life on Mars), cause Gerard Butler has to be the guy tailor made to reprise this role. He's gotta be your #1 pick to play Magnum if it were made tomorrow.

To fill out the rest of the cast: Rick is a tough one. I could see Scott Caan doing it because of his height (or maybe that's just cause he's on Hawaii 5-0). Since we're somewhat on the Entourage cast: Jeremy Piven would probably make a good Rick, or even a good Higgins. But I would probably stick Piven to Rick and have Paul Giamatti or maybe Philip Seymour Hoffman as Higgins. And definitely Daniel Dae Kim (aka Jin from Lost) would be a shoe in for Ice Pick.

That is the dream team as I see it: Butler, Rampage, Piven, Giamatti & Kim. Work your magic Hollywood. Pay me in a trip to Hawaii for a couple weeks to watch the filming. You are welcome.
