Don’t look now, but there’s a good chance you will finally get to see Richard Dean Anderson make a “MacGyver” movie for theaters.
Well,….maybe not really.
The Saturday Night Live version of the duct tape/Swiss Army Knife guru is being scheduled for a big screen adaptation. Comedian Will Forte made a series of spoofs called “MacGruber” that became popular enough to warrant a Super Bowl Commercial and even an appearance from the mighty Richard Dean himself. Awesome!
Will Forte’s bumbling spy MacGruber is headed for the bigscreen as the latest in a long line of “Saturday Night Live” characters to make that transition.
“SNL’s” Kristen Wiig will reprise her Vicki character for the feature. Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe are in talks to join the cast.
Forte — who will return to “SNL” in the fall — debuted the parody of the 1980s action-adventure series “MacGyver” in 2007.
