Nicolas Cage Will Be The Next Magnum P.I. - PIC

Nicolas Cage has been tapped to play Magnum P.I. on the big screen, although George Clooney was another possible contender. This time around, though, Magnum won’t have the moustache. Maybe it’s because once the ’80s were over, most men with moustaches look like sex offenders. Orlando Bloom, anyone?

According to a source:

“Nick has a very clear idea about what he feels should be done with the character and the movie, and one of them is not playing up to the stereotype of the TV series.”

“The setting, characters and the themes of the show will be in the movie but the moustache was Tom’s, not Magnum’s, so he may not have one in the movie.”

Why do they keep bringing old TV shows to the big screen? They were good then, and that’s where they should stay. Miami Vice was brutal, and Dukes of Hazzard sucked. Stop killing the memory of great shows!
