Red and Green band trailers for 'MacGruber'

The Mac is coming to the screen, and he's got two trailers!

As you may have already heard, "MacGruber" is coming to the big screen, and red and green band trailers for the action comedy have debuted online. They're not that funny, but see for yourself after the jump.

"MacGruber" is based on SNL's popular "MacGyver" parody, and it stars Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe. The film is expected to hit theaters April 23, 2010. Jorma Taccone directed the flick.

The original skits had Forte play MacGyver's son and Wiig portraying his assistant, who find themselves stuck in a room with a ticking time bomb. The feature film will head into a slightly different direction.

Written by Forte, Taccone and John Solomon, the script follows MacGruber as he's forced out of retirement to hunt down Cunth (Kilmer), a villain who possesses a nuclear bomb. Phillippe is one of his allies.
