Get Ready to See a Whole New Side of Kristen Wiig

We're used to seeing Kristen Wiig in outlandish roles, but in Hateship Loveship, Wiig is far, far away from comedy. She plays Johanna, a mousy nanny to Sabitha (Hailee Steinfeld). Sabitha lives with her grandfather (Nick Nolte), and she's got a hard edge thanks to the loss of her mother and the fact that her father (Guy Pearce) has become an addict. Things take a turn when Steinfeld and her cruel friend (Sami Gayle) decide to play a prank on Johanna. Even the trailer is a little painful to watch, but it's worth it to see Wiig's dramatic turn. Take a look, and pencil in the film's April 11 release date.
