Okay, I’m a goddamn fan of SNL‘s MacGruber sketches and even I didn’t think the movie was a good idea. Even given the fact that the Lonely Island and SNL‘s Jorma Taccone was directing wasn’t enough to sway my steadfast opinion on this matter. And yet: This red-band trailer makes MacGruber look like it could be pretty great. (I mean, Christ, it’s got a ponytailed Val Kilmer playing a bad guy named “Dieter von Cunth.”) As of now, the trailer’s unembeddable (because why would a movie studio actually make it easier for people to watch their advertising? That’d be so stupid!), so click the link to check it out.
That said, I think we all know the most important element in the MacGruber film will be if Taccone & Co. manage to get a cameo out of Richard Dean Anderson*.
Via FilmDrunk.
*They will. Dude’s doing half-assed cameo parts on Stargate Universe; I’m pretty sure he can clear an afternoon to shoot a MacGruber scene.
About time Will got himself a movie. Always loved this skit.
Oh the irony of a “restricted” trailer; as if I’m going to give them any information for the privilege to watch their bullshit. If SNL movie history is anything to go by, and especially if Erik likes it, I’m better off not watching it.
Andy you could always just make something up. Except don’t try using “MacGyver” as your last name. The site would not authenticate me. Angus “Johnson” worked just fine, however.
