"MacGruber," the "Saturday Night Life" parody of "MacGruber," is heading to the big screen with Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer in talks to star.

Jorma Taccone, creator of the charater, is set to direct the project, while Will Forte and Kristen Wiig are expected to reprise their roles from the TV sketches.

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 Hollywood Reporter says the feature film will head into a different direction. Written by Forte, Taccone and John Solomon, the script follows MacGruber as he's forced out of retirement to hunt down Cunth, a villain who possesses a nuclear bomb.

The trade reports Kilmer may play Cunth, with Phillippe on-board as an Army officer teaming up with the lead character. Phillippe was last seen in "Stop-Loss." Kilmer's got "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" coming up soon.

Val Kilmer is one among five to board Philippe Martinez’s upcoming indie thriller “The  Steam Experiment,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Armand Assante, Eric Roberts, Megan Brown and Patrick Muldoon have also signed on to star in the project, which recently began filming in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Written by Rob Malkani, “Steam” focuses on a former university professor (Kilmer) who traps six people in a Turkish bathhouse and keeps increasing the temperature to prove to the world that humanity will slip into chaos under the impact of global warming.

Assante plays a detective who tries to find the location of the hostages. Roberts, Brown and Muldoon play three of the victims. On board to star as the remaining three are Eve Mauro, Quinn Duffy and Cordelia Reynolds.

Martinez also directed “Citizen Verdict” and the Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle “Wake of Death.”

Kilmer has several projects awaiting release, including Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” and Charles Winkler’s action drama “Streets of Blood.” He also recently signed on to star in Dennis Dimster-Denk’s “Fake Identity.”

The story line of “Steam” is different, but the basic concept sounds much like the excellent German thriller “The Experiment,” in which people volunteered to be part of a social prison experiment that quickly turned into a brutal battle for survival.

Val Kilmer has signed on to star in Dennis Dimster-Denk’s upcoming thriller “Fake Identity,” Variety reported Sunday.

Written by Dimster-Denk and Dimbort, the film follows an American doctor who works in Chechnya and is thrust into a life-threatening situation when he helps a woman escape from an assailant.

Nu Image/Millenium Films is producing the project, which is scheduled to head into principal photography later this month.

Kilmer has several projects awaiting release, including Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” and Charles Winkler’s action drama “Streets of Blood.”

Dimster-Denk’s directing credits include several episodes for television’s “Desire” and “Wicked Wicked Games.”
