Director James Wan made a name for himself when his first movie Saw spawned a popular horror franchise. Wan then followed up with Insidious, another ultra-low budget horror movie that not only proved to make a profit, it also delivered on scares.
While Wan may not seen like a candidate to direct the gestating MacGyver movie, it's his name that has crossed the desks of New Line Cinema execs. Wan has now entered contract talks with the studio to make MacGyver based on the latest draft by writers Jason Richman, Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn.
