Affleck, PI?

Producers are hoping to nab Ben Affleck for the lead role in the upcoming movie version of Magnum PI. The original PI hunk, Tom Selleck, reportedly held out too long to reprise the role. "Unfortunately it won't star Tom," one of the producers of the 80's show says. "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." The producer hinted that Affleck is his first choice for the part, saying, "I think it will be wonderful."
