This whole MacGruber thing is just an insult to all that it intends to spoof. Spoof can be funny, but I am just not seeing a lot of humour in the MacGruber trailers. I didn’t care for it when the skit was on SNL, and I honestly don’t have much desire to see it as a film.
How this gets made while the REAL MacGyver lives in classic TV obscurity and Simpsons references is beyond me. But ‘lo there is hope.
MacGyver IS coming to the big screen and has signed on Jason Richman to write.
“MacGyver,” is being planned by New Line to be turned into a feature film. Jason Richman (Bad Company, Black Hawn Down) has been hired to pen the script.
The more and more I see of this MacGruber thing, the more I just want to see a real MacGyver film. Hell, I would love to see MacGyver: 20 Years Later and have Richard Dean Anderson play him again.
And while I am on the fence about how I feel about the writer, knowing there IS a writer means that the REAL MacGyver can hit the big screen and sweep aside this MacGruber thing.
