MACGRUBER!! He’s In Negotiations With Kilmer and Phillippe For His First Big-Screen Adventure!! MACGRUBER!!!!


I am – Hercules!!




Finally, some great TV-to-movie news!

Will Forte and Kristin Wiig are set to reprise for the big screen their roles from SNL’s “MacGruber” sketches.

SNL writers Forte, Jorma Taccone and John Solomon are at work on the script, with Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe in talks to co-star in the tale of a be-mulleted MacGyver-like superspy who's always a little slow when it comes to bomb deactivation!

Find Variety’s Wednesday-morning story on the matter here!
