Creators of the 80’s and 90’s hit ‘MacGyver’ are moving quickly to possibly stop the release of the ‘Macgruber’ movie, set to hit theatres in April 2010. MacGruber, the Saturday Night Live parody of MacGyver, features a less-than-intelligent secret agent who, unlike his previously famous counterpart, never gets out alive.  The MacGruber sketches  focus less on the action and more on MacGruber’s personal issues, which usually result in his demise when he can’t seem to focus on the mission at hand.

MacGyver is set to make his big-screen comeback later this year, and creators are afraid the earlier MacGruber release amounts to unfair competition and will hinder the success of MacGyver.
