Check Your Calendars and Make Sure It's Not April 1st
JORMA TACCONE TO DIRECT 'MACGRUBER' MOVIE


Jorma Taccone will direct MacGruber, based on the "Saturday Night Live" sketch parody of the TV show "MacGyver," reports Production Weekly. Filming begins next month in New Mexico.

The Hollywood Reporter adds that Ryan Phillippe is in negotiations to star in the feature, with Val Kilmer in negotiations to also join the Paramount and Relativity Media production.

In the film, the legendary, much decorated MacGruber is pulled out of retirement as a monk in Ecuador by a colonel, who needs him once more to fight on behalf of his country. This time the mission involves going up against the evil Cunth, who has a nuclear warhead; the mission is personal because Cunth killed MacGruber's bride.

The movie version would see Phillippe playing Piper, an Army officer forced to pair up with a reluctant MacGruber. Kilmer would be Cunth.

One word: SERIOUSLY??

I have no idea how they're going to expand such a one joke sketch into an ENTIRE MOVIE. But I do love Will and Jorma.

I'm still waiting for Falconer movie. OH DONALD!

What? Look, some things are only funny in tiny increments. MacGruber is one of these things. BARELY. This is a bad idea.

I thought they learned their lesson with those "SNL sketch becomes movie" movies- Everything sucks.

there are so many other sketches that would make better movies.

I'd personally love a Wakeup Wakefield movie :[

True story: Megan = me in seventh grade. Right down to the creepy obsession with the popular boy and the bizarre, nerdy, unattractive male friend who I had a thing for.
