'Magnum, PI' could be the latest TV hero to make the jump to the big screen.
Variety reports that Universal Pictures and producer Brian Grazer have acquired the movie rights to the hit 80's series.
Michael McCullers, who penned the second and third 'Austin Powers' instalments with star Mike Myers, has been hired to write the script.
There are no reports on who will play the moustachioed investigator at present.
