From WorstPreviews.com:
"Two months ago, New Line Cinema announced that its planning a feature film based on the popular MacGyver TV show that ran from 1985-1992 on ABC. 'We think we're a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise,' said New Line's Richard Brener.
But New Line will have a bit of competition, since Lorne Michaels and the people from SNL are working on turning a 'MacGyver' spoof skit, called 'MacGruber,' into a movie. In the popular skit, Will Forte is always seconds from disarming a bomb, but gets sucked into idle chatter or an argument while his friends yell at him to focus on the bomb. SNL writers and actors will go back to work in September, which is why Michaels said that 'MacGruber' 'would have to be made in the Summer.' But since nothing is finalized yet, the film might not be made till next Summer."
When was the last time a movie based on a Saturday Night Live skit made? Blues Brothers 2000? Superstar? Wayne's World 2?
