If you’re like me, you’re more than a little curious how they’re going to take a 60-second gag from Saturday Night Live and turn it into a 90-minute movie. As we’ve previously mentioned, MACGRUBER was said to have brought the house down at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival (we were not on the list for some reason, so we never got to see it). I will say, everything I’ve seen so far looks pretty funny. Did you miss the trailer we posted? Perhaps you saw this red band trailer, or this one. Now a clip from the film has hit Myspace, and gives us a little taste of what to expect. This not only features Will Forte as MacGruber, but comes complete with a little Val Kilmer, and for those very observant you may notice the very tall Derek Mears (Jason in the new FRIDAY THE 13th) as one of Kilmer’s thugs. Check it out, and get yourself in the right mindset for this weekend. Are you excited about MACGRUBER? Tell us in the comments below.
