Will Forte talks about the MacGruber movie
Will Forte is hilarious. Last night, he stole the show from Jimmy Fallon on Late Night, which admittedly doesn't seem very hard to do, with non-stop jokes and a mini rock opera. He might not be the most popular comedic actor on Saturday Night Live, but he's definitely one of the funniest. That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to his MacGruber movie.Yup, a MacGruber movie. Forte told Fallon about a script he wrote for a feature film based on the SNL sketch. "John Solomon, Jorma Taccone, and I just finished writing it. We're gonna make it in Albuquerque. It's me and Kristen Wiig and cast to be determined," he said. Video after the jump.
I think most of us knew this was coming. Lorne Michaels and crew have produced films based on the sketchiest SNL sketches (It's Pat, Superstar, The Ladies Man), but I have no idea how a MacGruber movie would work, considering MacGruber always dies in an explosion a minute into each sketch.
A MacGruber movie could be a terrible idea, but Forte promised Fallon "it's maybe a little different than people are thinking." Maybe the combination of Forte, Kristen Wiig, a mullet and a few surprises will make this one worth watching.
And because I couldn't help myself from posting this, here's Forte singing his awesome version of the new Late Night theme song:
