"MacGruber" Will be Hard-R ComedyPosted: August 11th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
NY Magazine spoke to Bill Hader (Superbad) about the upcoming "MacGruber" movie, which is based on an "SNL" sketch that spoofs "MacGyver" TV show.
"I read the script, and it's like a hard-R comedy, and it totally works. It's hilarious," he said. "It's kind of in the vein of, like, eighties action movies, like there's a very definitive bad guy. I don't know if I can talk about the plot too much, but it's hilarious. The thing that kind of blew my mind about it is that it's like a HARD-R movie."
Plot: The legendary, much decorated MacGruber is pulled out of retirement as a monk in Ecuador by a colonel, who needs him once more to fight on behalf of his country. This time the mission involves going up against the evil Cunth, who has a nuclear warhead; the mission is personal because Cunth killed MacGruber's bride.
The movie version would see Ryan Phillippe playing Piper, an Army officer forced to pair up with a reluctant MacGruber. Val Kilmer would be Cunth. "MacGruber" is scheduled to hit theaters April 16th, 2010.

Bill Hader is pretty fucking hilarious, especially in Superbad and Pineapple Express. I think he's not too bad in SNL either, although I admittingly don't watch the show too often. But some of the skits that I catch online seem pretty funny. Definately wouldn't mind seeing Val Kilmer in a comedic role, I thought he was hilarious as the gay dectective in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' alongside Robert Downey Jr.

Hmmm... I think I am starting to get more interested in this if they do it as a full-out cheesy 80's action movie/comedy. Could end up being funny.

@Douchenozzle
they should bring in some 80's stars too like Mr. T, Richard Anderson, David Hasselhoff, or Tom Selleck.

Hard R for RETARDED. Dag I'm clever.
It could be funny. I thought Hot Rod was hilarious and it was sort of an SNL movie. It's just, the MacGruber pepsi shorts were NOT funny at all.

What was the last SNL skit movie that was worth a dime? Blues Brothers. This will be a waste, I don not even think the skits are amusing, WEAK!

Vip3r22, I love your thinking! Bring in a huge ensemble of 80's and 90's action film icons, such as Gary Busey, Danny Glover, Van Damme, etc. It could be like a bugnuts Expendables/Machete cast of washed up actors.

Go easy guys... it's just nice to see them willing to make an 'R' movies these days. I won't break a sweat getting to the theater on this one, but on the off chance I'm not throwing one into Megan Fox that night... I'd surely rent this.

So basically it's going to be a Rambo first blood part 2 remake with a retard in a wig. This movie will suck but will probably bank.

I admit, SNL is in decline but television wouldn't be the same without it. They could bring on new players and it could be amazing again. it's like the stock market of sketch comedy. I don't think it should ever end. The movies, I'm indifferent about. Who knows, might be good

@ Ranger - I'm not sure what you mean, because I've only changed it once, and that was for the WP default to this.
Also, George's last name is Takei. So there. :P

You know Ranger, I'll let that one slide, just because he likes it better that way.
BTW, his last name is spelled Takei. So there. :P

This skit is horrible, i cant believe they are really making this. Bill Hader is good shit though, maybe because its R it might actually be somehow funny.

He got the glass eye after listening to Megan Fox and poking himself in the eye trying to make the pain in the brain go away.

Wow, so does that mean Bill Hader will be top lining a movie? He's always a supporting comedic role (Superbad, Tropic Thunder) or a cameo (Pineapple Express). Im glad that hes getting to be the star of a comedy, im excited.
