If Hollywood had its way, Kristen Wiig would just make Bridesmaids clones and sequels, but she’s not interested in that – indeed she turned down a huge deal to write and star in the follow-up to her breakout movie hit. Now she’s hoping show off he dramatic skills, as TheWrap reports that she’s circling the indie drama Nasty Baby.
It won’t be her first drama, as a few years ago she took a small role in All Good Things, but this one would put her front and centre. Writer/director Sebastian Silva and TV on the Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe are set to play Freddy and Mo, ‘a gay couple who are trying to have a baby with the help of their best friend Anna, who would be played by Wiig if a deal closes…’
‘Freddy is an artist whose latest work is all about babies. Anna is a family practitioner who is more interested in having a baby than having a man. Mo is hesitant about the entire idea, especially when Anna isn?t having success with Freddy?s sperm and the donor responsibility shifts to him.’
Nothing has been signed, as although Wiig wants to do the movie, they’re still to sort out details (not least her schedule). Alia Shawkat, Mark Margolis and Denis O’Hare are all being eyed for supporting roles.
