Andy Samberg and Jack Johnson - "At or With Me" music video

Here's the music video:



And here's a "making of" short and interview:



Thanks to Janey for the scoop!

Wow, they really made Andy look like the alpha male in his group, but I don't think that's the case.

Enjoy!

Will MacGruber make money on DVD?

Who knows? Maybe MacGruber will make some money on DVD. One way to find out...



"MacGruber" can diffuse bombs using his bare hands and everyday objects, but that didn't help it from being the biggest bomb at the box-office this summer. The comedy based on the "SNL"character is getting a second chance on Blu-ray and DVD this September.

"MacGruber" stretches the usually 30-second to 2-minute "SNL" skits to 99 minutes in the comedy which sees the title character, played by Will Forte, being called upon by the government after a decade-long hiatus to find a nuclear warhead stolen by his enemy, the inappropriately named Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer). The film also stars Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe.

The Blu-ray and DVD contains two versions of the movie: the original theatrical version, and an unrated version, which features never-before-seen footage removed to keep the film's R-rating, which it was awarded for strong crude and sexual content, violence, language and some nudity, so imagine.

Along with more "MacGruber" back into the film, it also contains a host of special features, including a commentary with director Jorma Taccone, Will Forte, and co-writer John Solomon, a deleted scene, and a gag reel. The Blu-ray features exclusive additional features like BD-Live internet features, pocketBlu interactivity through iPhone and iTouch accessories, and more.

"MacGruber" hits Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and On-Demand on September 7th.

MacGruber tanked in the Box Office

Domestic Total as of Jun. 9, 2010: $8,511,440

Production Budget: $10 million

Still, this is better than Will Forte's last effort, The Brothers Solomon (9/7/07), which made only $900,926.

But not quite as good as Andy Samberg's Hot Rod...



Which made $14,334,401.

So unfortunately The Lonely Island remains unbankable in movies.

So sad. =^(

TheLonelyIsland's anti-Shrek campaign

(in no way affiliated with #MacGruber which is also out in theaters today) #Shrek Exposed!: http://shrekexposed.com/

- The Lonely Island

===============

Shrek's been doing some terrorist bombing:



So that was the Lonely Island's tweet (and they have a similar blog post). This basically means that Joni or Jorma wanted to comically downplay MacGruber's biggest film competition (sort of how Austin Powers 2 trailer masterfully told you to watch Star Wars), which is Shrek 4.

Kind of amusing...

Andy Samberg at a MacGruber screening

Sunshine Landmark Cinemas. May 19, 2010.



What was the funniest moment on set?

“During the second sex scene, Will, because he’s having sex with a ghost, is humping air pushed up against a gravestone, banging his knees on the gravestone, and Lorne Michaels runs up and takes a picture of him from behind, giggling hysterically.” — Jorma Taccone


Enjoy!

MacGruber is so out right now (Jorma's videos)

Jorma made a silly little video to promote MacGruber:



As all Andy fans should know by now, there's no Andy in the movie. =^(

Here is a message from Jorma:

"The movie is a hard 'R' and really funny. I'm super proud of it and I hope you guys like it as much as I do." - jorm

Sweet MacGruber poster

CBS Films and Universal Studios have sent over a high resolution version of the new MacGruber movie poster. MacGruber stars Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, Powers Boothe, Maya Rudolph and Val Kilmer and it’s the feature film version of the Saturday Night Live skit. MacGruber screened at SXSW and I’ve heard from friends it’s very stupid but extremely funny. Sounds like my kind of movie.



MACGRUBER Synopsis and Info:

Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.

In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job.

Assembling an elite team of experts-Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig)-MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.

MacGruber interview - Jorma, Kristen, and Will

Not totally Andy, but it is TLI related.

Will Forte, Kristin Wiig, and Ryan Phillippe from MacGruber interviewed by Drew McWeeny from HitFix.



Thanks for the scoop, Anony!

Apparently Akiva was the Executive Producer on MacGruber. So Andy was the only TLI member not involved. Poor Andy. =^(

Here's a bonus vid...

The cast of MacGruber takes the stage for the "How to defuse a bomb and other life lessons" panel at South by Southwest 2010 in Austin, Texas. Executive Producer, Seth Meyers, shares a story from the production of MacGruber.
