If you weren’t already a fan of Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader then you’re about to be, or be a bigger one! This UK trailer for THE SKELETON TWINS looks set to showcase their brilliant talent, and give us a great looking movie.
I’m a big fan of a comedy-dramas that focuses on real people and characters, this one centres around twins Maggie (Wiig) and Milio (Hader), who haven’t seen each other for ten years but end up coincidentally cheating death on the same day. This, in turn, prompts them to reunite and confront where their lives have gone wrong.
In the old classic adage, as their reunion begins to reinvigorate them both, they realise that they might need a little help through each day.
THE SKELETON TWINS is directed by Craig Johnson and he co-wrote with Mark Heyman, the man who wrote the screenplay for BLACK SWAN. This one doesn’t look that intense, of course, but definitely delves into their existence. It also stars Ty Burrell and Luke Wilson and premiered to positive reviews at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Here’s that great UK trailer:
THE SKELETON TWINS opens in the US on September 19th and on November 7th in the UK. You can also find them on Facebook.
