Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillipe on the set of 'MacGruber.'
The film ‘MacGruber,’ featuring the incompetent son of the 1980s television character MacGyver, who could pick a lock with a blade of grass, is due to hit theaters in April 2010.
The film began shooting last month with a script written by lead actor ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ Will Forte, along with Jorma Taccone and John Solomon.
Taccone, who is directing the movie, created the SNL MacGruber character.
Kristen Wiig, who plays Vicki in the SNL MacGruber skits, is reprising her character in the film, and actor Ryan Phillippe also stars in the film.
