Universal Pictures has unveiled the first official photos from its upcoming “MacGruber” movie, based on the popular SNL “MacGyver” parodies. With the film scheduled for release on April 23 2010, Universal Pictures now has the movie listed in the Feature Releases panel on their website with the following synopsis. QUOTE | Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.
In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job.
Assembling an elite team of experts–Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig)–MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber. |

When i first saw the photo's all I thought was MacGruber looks like a wannabe double O 7, the girl looks like shes still stuck in the 1970's, and the army type guy looks back in the 1980's.

I saw SNL last Saturday and they did another three sketches- all depicting MacGruber as a racist- so while initially trying to parody MacGyver and hyperbolize the elements of the show, they have now turned it into "irony," doing things MacGyver never would. It's funny to have the repeated scenario of Mac locked in a room while the clock ticks down, it's not funny to make him a vulgar, racist, heavy-handed moron. But you know what? That's where American culture has gone. Sure there's always been some edginess, but shows like SNL have pushed the envelop so far it's a game of shock now. Every movie, show, stand up host, it's all so much off color adult humor there's almost no escaping it now. Granted, I am probably a somewhat racy person myself at times, but even I feel things are going south, and I'm 22, not 40, and saying this. As for the impact on the MacGyver movie, yeah, I also suspect there is no taking MacGyver serious now, sadly MacGyver has been so scarce on the airwaves over the last half a decade or more that kids who missed MacGyver will say "Oh, this is like that funny MacGruber movie, only it's not funny." I mean, I think there's enough of an audience people would show in droves if the trailer got enough marketing and it was a DANG good trailer, but we have all discussed before the lack of quality in 80's shows turned movies like Miami Vice. Hopefully this will be one of those miracles and there will still be a Mac movie, and it will be VERY well written and promoted.

They just released the unrated trailer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLcXGP8g7rYThis just isn't the movie for me. Now, without a doubt when I tell people I like MacGyver they will laugh at me because Mac is associated with this movie...

Yeah, pretty tacky, and distasteful in my opinion. I won't be seeing this horrible parody of MacGyver ever! - M.F.
