Three new clips have been released from the Lionsgate drama The Lincoln Lawyer. Matthew McConaughey plays the title character and he’s surrounded by a cast that includes Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, and William H. Macy. All of the said actors appear in the following clips from the film. Take a look…
Unruly dialogue, early eighties fashion, mullets, and explosions (can’t forget about the explosions) dominate the 88 minute run time of Jorma Taccone’s MacGruber. It’s been a while since “Saturday Night Live” has had the courage to produce a feature version of one of their skits, and they decided to take the plunge with the MacGyver inspired knock-off. MacGruber is transformed from a mediocre 30 second sketch to an amazing action satire complete with the presence of Powers Boothe, because no eighties action movie is complete without “The Boothe”!
Last weekend, we thought that “Saturday Night Live” would pull out all the stops considering host Ryan Phillippe would be on promoting one of their movies. The SNL based MacGruber will be hitting theaters next month and there wasn’t one sketch during the whole show! Even though Phillippe, Will Forte, and Kristen Wiig were all in attendance, this was the one night Lorne Michaels decided against it. WTF was up with that?
A while ago it was announced that a big screen adaptation of the 1960′s television series, “The Big Valley” was in the works and now several pieces of casting news have been confirmed. First we found out that Oscar winner Susan Sarandon would star as the female lead and the matriarch of the Barkley Clan, and while at SXSW actor Ryan Phillippe has confirmed that he will also star in the film, which is set to begin production this summer!
Just when we thought the race for finding Captain America couldn’t get any stranger Ryan Phillippe has thrown his hat into the ring. According to Hitfix, Phillippe along with several other actors are in contention for the lead role in The First Avenger: Captain America including Mike Vogel, Garrett Hedlund, and Chris Evans.
Just yesterday we got our first live action look at the upcoming “Saturday Night Live” film, MacGruber. We got to see all the explicit stuff in the red band restricted trailer, and now the green band version has been released. There won’t be any middle fingers or F-bombs in this preview, but it’s still surprisingly funny…
It’s finally here. The first trailer for the big screen adaptation of the “Saturday Night Live” spin-off, MacGruber. It’s been a long time since an SNL skit was turned into a feature film, the last noted attempts were The Ladies Man, A Night at the Roxbury and Superstar. Now, several high quality photos have been released for MacGruber as well as a red band trailer. It’s time to get down with some bad eighties fashion and unnecessary action…
A while back we reported on Ryan Phillippe‘s casting in the SNL skit turned film, MacGruber. Over at JustJared they’ve posted some behind the scenes set photos of the man in action. Seeing is really believing, because I still don’t understand why he would sign on to do this movie. Who knew Ryan could do comedy?
Here’s Ryan on the set of MacGruber being all sexy and funny at the same time…
I haven’t been a fan of Saturday Night Live inspired films for a very long time. There was a point in my life where I thought they were funny, and so did the rest of the general public, but somehow they lost their mojo. Have we returned to the point where SNL skits can once again be adapted into feature films? According to Yahoo News, MacGruber the MacGyver-esque character from the weekly sketch show has gotten a movie deal. Not only will he be heading to the big screen but he’s bringing Ryan Phillippe, Val Kilmer, and Jorma Taccone with him!
