Ben Affleck is being wooed to take the lead role in the film version of Magnum PI. Producers behind the adaptation think Ben would be perfect for the role, after first choice Tom Selleck turned it down. "I think it will be wonderful. Unfortunately it won't star Tom," one of the show's original producers, Charles Floyd Johnson, said. "He was asked to do six or eight TV movies and at that time he really wanted to do it as a feature, so he held out on it and probably now they will consider him too old to do it." Hollywood producer Brian Grazer is likely to helm the new film project.

I just don't see Ben Affleck as Magnum. I just don't see it.

Nor me and he hasn't had the greatest success with movies so I'd be surprised if this one was a hit.

I agree. His acting skills are less than par and it amazes me he still gets roles. I see a disaster in the making.
