The Spice Girl Mel B, who wants to be an actress, is thought to have won a part in the big screen version of the hit 80s show 'Magnum, P.I.', which featured a private investigator living in Hawaii.
A source said, "Mel will play a tough-talking detective. Her no-nonsense attitude will make her a great addition to the cast".
The TV show, on which the movie is based, starred Tom Selleck who played the part of Thomas Magnum, an investigator who solved crimes whilst driving around in a Ferrari 308 GTS.
Although the cast has yet to be officially announced, it was recently reported that Matthew McConaughey would play Magnum and Steve Zahn, Tyrese Gibson and William H. Macy are expected to play the characters Rick, and T.C.
