According to Entertainment Weekly, Matthew McConaghey is currently reading the script for writer/director Rawson Michael Thurber’s (Dodgeball) adaptation of Magnum P.I. and has been offered the lead.  Back in September I reported that Nic Cage was campaigning for the role, and that the adaptation would be comedic/tongue-in-cheek.

McConaghey’s casting makes sense, because Magnum P.I. is set in Hawaii, which is warm, and Matthew McConaghey seems to enjoy sweating and looking like he smells really bad.

However, if they make a movie version of Magnum P.I. that doesn’t have gratuitous amounts of curly black chest hair, I will fucking cut someone, and that’s a promise.
