Will Forte’s MacGyver-spoofing spy, MacGruber, is set to make the transition from Saturday Night Live to the big screen, Variety tells.
Following the path previously blazed (with varying degrees of success) by the likes of The Blues Brothers, Coneheads, Wayne’s World and Superstar, MacGruber will stretch the exploits of its titular recurring skit character into full feature length. Kristen Wiig is signed to co-star, with Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe reportedly in talks.
The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone, a resident writer on SNL, is tapped to direct.

This is all kinds of good. Forte, Kilmer, Taccone, Wiig. Yeah.
...I mean, it can't be any worse than It's Pat or Stuart Saves his Family, right?
I'm impressed you've even seen either of those. Well, maybe "impressed" isn't quite the right word, but either way - bravo!
And it'll be nice to see Forte take a lead. And Wiig I'll watch in anything.
