R Rated MacGruber In Store for Live Feature Adaptation
R-rated comedies can be busts sometimes but it seems in recent years that is not true with a multitude of R-rated comedies having great box office success, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Hangover, Wedding Crashers, Observe and Report, etc.
The full feature version of MacGruber will be no exception as Bill Hader tells us that it will be R-rated as well.
In a recent interview with NY Mag’s Vulture, Hader took a moment to discuss the upcoming MacGruber movie which is currently being shot in New Mexico. The comedian says that the film will definitely come with a hard R rating attached. Directed by The Lonely island’s Jorma Taccone, MacGruber is the big screen reincarnation of the popular Will Forte SNL sketch.
“I read the script, and it’s like a hard-R comedy, and it totally works. It’s hilarious. It’s kind of in the vein of, like, eighties action movies, like there’s a very definitive bad guy. I don’t know if I can talk about the plot too much, but it’s hilarious. The thing that kind of blew my mind about it is that it’s like a HARD-R movie. I was like, “What is this? This is fucking ugly. You guys are really going to do this?” And they’re like, “Yup.” And I was like, “That is awesome. That is fucking hilarious.”
When asked if they’d be able to stretch the skit past thirty seconds, Bill replied, “It’s a really funny character. I don’t think that’s a stretch.” But don’t expect everyone to die at the end, “They just blow up. They don’t necessarily die, because they’ll keep being in more sketches.”
So thanks for the spoiler alert Bill. That being said I one of like 2 people who thinks the MacGruber skit is lame and do not really care for a big screen adaptation of the movie. That being said it will be interesting to see how the flesh a 2 hour comedy from a 30 second skit regardless of what Hader says.
