Will Forte’s Saturday Night Live spy spoof MacGruber is headed for the big screen.
The parody of ’80s TV series MacGyver is being made into a movie, and actors Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer being courted for lead roles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The sketch stars Will Forte as the son of secret agent Angus MacGyver. He and his assistant (played by Kristen Wiig) regularly find themselves trapped in a room with a bomb, only to see MacGruber get sidetracked by his addition to alcohol.
Actor Richard Dean Anderson, who starred in MacGyver, has appeared in several of the sketches over the years.
Other Saturday Night Live sketches that have been adapted for theatrical release include, Wayne’s World, Coneheads, and A Night At The Roxbury.
