According to reports coming from The Hollywood Reporter, Lorne Michaels has indicated that Saturday Night Live might be toying with the idea of making a MacGruber movie.
“It would have to be in the summer because we are back in production in the fall,” Michaels told THR when asked about the possible production timing. “We’re still in discussions” he added.
MacGruber, of course, is the multi-part MacGyver parody that SNL has aired in the Digital shorts portion of the show and in a series of television commercials the aired during the Superbowl.
Knowing Richard Dean Andersons love of skewed silliness and how he’s already enjoyed being part of the MacGruber skits on SNL, one has to wonder if he would be more inclined to want to be involved in the MacGruber movie over the real MacGyver movie and also how this might affect the efforts of Raffaella Productions to make the MacGyver movie.

i think Rick should do both. As long as he’s going to be in the MacGyver moive, i will deffently go and it. As far as, MacGruber movie, if Rick desides to be in it, i would go and see it. Either way Rick has to be in the MacGyver movie.

I agree with Rebecca – he should do both, as he is proud of both. I would definitely see both!
