MacGruber coming to the big screen!
I knew it was only a matter of time that Will Forte’s MacGyver spoof MacGruber would be turned into a movie! It’s probably the funniest sketch on SNL these days. I seriously can’t wait for this movie because I think it’s going to be a smash hit! That is, if the script and acting is up to par. I mean, anything can be better than Ladies Man and Superstar. I just hope they can make this movie into something that’s consistently funny, because these skits are so short. As far as casting is concerned, no word yet about Richard Dean Anderson making an appearance. Kristen Wiig will reprise her role as Vicki, MacGruber’s sidekick. Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillipe are in talks to star in the movie as well. Filming starts up next month!

Jackie Earle Hale is Freddie Krueger
Jackie Earle Hale (Bad News Bears, Watchmen) has been picked to star as the legendary villain in New Line’s re-do, re-imagined, remake, etc. of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street.’ Well I couldn’t think of a more creepier looking actor to play Freddie. Maybe they don’t need to use much makeup?

Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan join cast of Death at a Funeral remake
The unnecessary remake of “Death at a Funeral” has its cast set. Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan are joining the Chris Rock comedy as they “re-imagine” Frank Oz’s movie, which just came out in 2007. You’d think they remake a movie that didn’t come out 2 years ago? Even adding a black spin to it just means they still ran out of movie ideas. Why not do a black Star Wars or something?

What a surprise to see that Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea has been added to the cast of the untitled Robin Hood movie that Ridley Scott is directing. He will be playing one of the Merry Men, Allan A’Dayle. Russell Crowe is starring in the movie so I guess it shouldn’t be such a shock since the two are friends and both have worked on each others albums. Cate Blanchett is also set to star and the movie is projected to come out in 2010.
