'Welcome To Me' Trailer: Kristen Wiig Buys Her Own Talk Show
Here's the first Welcome to Me trailer, featuring Kristen Wiig as a woman suffering from Borderline Personalilty Syndrome who wins millions in the lottery. But those lottery winnings don't make her life any easier, as she ditches her treatment and moves in to a casino. Oh, and she buys her own talk show, which she appears to host with unusually transparent personal candor. Reviews from the film's TIFF debut last year were filled with praise for Wiig's work, and watching this trailer it isn't difficult to understand why.
Update: The original trailer we ran with this piece was removed at request of the distributor; now we have the official version.
Trailer via YouTube. Welcome to Me will be released later on May 1.
What happens when a young woman with Borderline Personality Disorder wins the lottery? In the case of Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig), she quits her psychiatric meds and buys her own talk show. Inspired by the immortal Oprah, she broadcasts her dirty laundry as both a form of exhibitionism and a platform to share her peculiar views on everything from nutrition to relationships to neutering pets. Also starring Wes Bentley, James Marsden, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Linda Cardellini.
