CBS is bringing MacGyver back to the small screen, with THR reporting that Furious 7 director, James Wan is on board to head up a rebooted version of the classic TV show. According to the report, the wheels are already in motion for a pilot episode, with Wan set to step behind the camera while NCIS: Los Angeles writer R. Scott Gemmill pens the script.
The new version of the show will apparently be a "reimagining" of the original premise, focusing on a 20-year-old MacGyver as he is recruited into a clandestine organisation. There he will use his uncanny knack for creating complex gadgets from bottle tops and cereal packets to avert various disasters from week to week.
