Filmrot reports that on UK TV's "Entertainment Today", Tom Selleck was interviewed and asked about how the "Magnum P.I." movie was progressing and whether the talk was true about George Clooney taking over the role for the project.
Selleck stated, as fact, that Clooney will not be playing Magnum and that the only reason the rumour started was because USA Today ran a poll as to who should (Selleck actually came in first, Clooney second).
The guys then contacted the UK branch of Universal who explained that the script is actually finalised and they are looking at cast and directors "as we speak". They were asked if Clooney was being looked at for the role to which they responded "No Comment". When asked what are Tom Selleck's chances of being Magnum again? They responded "There is a TV reunion movie planned, I believe".
Thanks to 'Watson'.
