I'm feeling discouraged by this news as well! I watched the pepsi ads just to see RDA; kept waiting for it to be funny.....I'm still waiting. Of course I will NOT go see the MacGruber movie. Most SNL films bomb so hopefully this one will, too. My greatest hope is that RDA will not have anything to do with the MacGruber movie!! Becky (this is my first post, btw )

Or he was offered a big enough pay cheque (or check) Sorry, I'm being cynical today.
Some days, you wonder why you got out of bed... Watching and enjoying Season 7 on Region 2 DVD!

Guys, guys guys. Look at the bigger picture.
They won't stain the MacGyver name. They CAN'T stain the MacGyver name, this is a parody movie, not a re-creation.
I loved Night at the Roxbury, that was a great SNL movie.
Jorma Taccone is a great director and actor. I've followed his and the other "Dudes'" (Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer) exploits since their pilot episode of "Awesometown". Since that didn't pick up, they have done many things from music videos to writing for and acting in SNL. The trio created the cult hit "Hot Rod". They are really talented and funny, and I love them.
And I think you guys are forgetting the biggest point of all... RDA likes Macgruber! He even participated in 3 of the skits, and I think he was great in them. "Your hair is WAY more 80's!"
Downloading and watching all the Macgruber skits was very enjoyable for me. It mixed the well known part of MacGyver (Macgyverisms) with social commentary. The point is, it only touched on the most popular part of Mac, the "He can make a bomb out of a paperclip and a tin of spam" mentality. You can bet that the Macgruber movie will only touch on this, and not go into the deeper aspects of Mac that we all know and appreciate. It is because of this that it has no chance of actually staining the MacGyver name.
Worry not! I am the biggest fan of MacGyver that I or anyone that knows me knows. And I am looking forward to this movie, because if it does suck, it won't matter. Because all that I know of MacGyver, and all I will ever know of MacGyver, ended in 1992.

We don't know if the actual movie is still a go. Indy 4 didn't go a bad way, they made a very good attempt of still going the right way. Harrison Ford was still in it, which meant a lot to his fans. The only new thing was the CGI, everything else was the same.
That it's not going to get the same feeling as before, we all know that.

In these matters don't expect anything, so you won't be disappointed. If sequels are made twenty years after the last one but the main character is still the original actor and they do everything they used to do in the old days now, never expect anything. I don't wanna know about trailers or anything, just the date of release. Look at Rocky 6 for instance.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
