MacGruber with Will Forte and Ryan Phillippe to open in April

First, MacGruber was a Saturday Night Live sketch starring Will Forte as a MacGyver knock off. Then it moved to a Pepsi commercial. So now the only logical conclusion is big box office film, right?

MacGruber is set for the big screen on April 23.
The cast has expanded with Will Forte, Ryan Phillippe, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer, Powers Boothe and Maya Rudolph. Yes, that’s right, Phillippe and Kilmer are along for the ride.
It’s directed by Jorma Taccone, who’s best known for … OK, he’s not really known yet, but he’s directed SNL and had a small role in Hot Rod. Taccone also wrote the screenplay with Forte and John Solomon.
