Tom Selleck is refusing to appear in a movie version of Magnum PI.

Despite starring in the hit 80s show for eight years, the actor wants to play no part in the film plans.

"I won't be in it and I won't be doing some stupid cameo," he is quoted by eecho.ie as saying.

Vince Vaughn and George Clooney are rumoured to be battling it out for a lead role in the film.
