MacGruber goes big screen

Sigh, yet another semi amusing SNL recurring character that will be in an ok 5 minute sketch stretched out to 90 minutes. Yay. I'm guessing there will be an in movie Pepsi ad as well. [Link]

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. He'll co-write with "SNL's" Jorma Taccone and John Solomon; the logline's being kept under wraps. Taccone will direct.
