Today, I went to my first film panel since I have spent most of my time here at interactive panels. The MacGruber panel was so much fun and well worth the wait. It started about twenty minutes. The stars of the new movie Will Forte, Val Kilmer, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillipe were on the panel. Akiva Shaffer was the moderator and director Jorma Taccone and writer John Solomon were also on the panel. Seth Myers was in the audience and briefly came on stage to tell a funny story about the filming of the movie.

Quick Facts:

• MacGruber will open May 21st
• MacGruber was shot in Albuquerque last  year in 28 days
• MacGruber’s budget was 10 million dollars.
• Will Forte’s mom has a cameo in the movie
• Will Forte is tweeting as MacGruber. Follow @grubes69

During the Q &A, someone asked Ryan Phillipe is he will play “Captain America”. He said that his son would love it if he did, and to check the web if it happens.  Sounds like Ryan knows that news like that will break on the internets first.

Sidenote: I must rent “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”.  I think Val Kilmer is about to make a big comeback!
