Wiig gets crazy with Clown Girl

Kristen Wiig has been constantly on the rise within the past few years, making one hell of a name for herself not only as a comedienne but as an actress. Now she’s using some of that star power to her advantage as she options the rights to the novel Clown Girl written by Monica Drake, reports Deadline.

Not only is Wiig setting herself up to go and write the script for this feature, but she’s positioning herself to star in it. Continue reading on to see what this novel is all about.:

Clown Girl lives in Baloneytown, a seedy neighborhood where drugs, balloon animals, and even rubber chickens contribute to the local currency. Against a backdrop of petty crime, she struggles to live her dreams, calling on cultural masters Charlie Chaplin, Kafka, and da Vinci for inspiration. In an effort to support herself and her layabout performance-artist boyfriend, Clown Girl finds herself unwittingly transformed into a “corporate clown,” trapping herself in a cycle of meaningless, high-paid gigs that veer dangerously close to prostitution.

Wiig will next appear on screen in MacGruber, co-starring alongside Will Forte, Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe. The Universal Pictures feature explodes into theaters everywhere on May 21rst.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
