The Conjurings James Wan to helm new McGyver show

Remember the 80s? Well they're back as we're getting a new McGyver TV show.

This news broke a while back as the project has been in the works in various forms for years. One constant has been director James Wan who almost helmed a feature back in 2012 and remained on as an Executive Producer for a proposed TV series.

In the wake of the massive success of The Conjuring 2, Wan is taking the plunge and will direct the pilot episode of the McGyver series. It already has a full series order at CBS to start in late 2016 so he's going to have to be quick, which shouldn't be a problem for the highly efficient filmmaker.
