I haven’t watched “Saturday Night Live†in years – or if I have, it’s merely been a repeat – so I’m not familiar with the “MacGruber†sketch, but by the looks/sounds of it, it’s Will Forte taking the piss out of 80s classic “MacGyverâ€, right?
Is there enough in there for a movie? Can the joke be stretched to 90 minutes?
“SNL†producer Lorne Michaels tells THR he’s looking to do a feature-film version of “MacGruber†with Will Forte.
Besides “The Blues Brothers†and “Wayne’s Worldâ€, most of the films that have been inspired by “Saturday Night Live†sketches – be it “The Ladies Manâ€, “Coneheadsâ€, “Superstarâ€, “It’s Pat†or “Stuart Saves His Family†– have crashed-and-burned at the box office. Wonder what’s got Michaels think this one will be any different? Is it the star-power of, er, Forte?
