“God, what the hell happened to us?”

Written and directed by Craig Johnson (True Adolescents), The Skeleton Twins stars Saturday Night Live alums Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader as Maggie and Milo, estranged twins who reunite after a set of near-tragedies bring them together.

As children, Maggie and Milo Dean were inseparable. As teenagers, a family tragedy sent them down different paths, leading to a decade of silence. Now in their thirties, they are brought together when Milo, a struggling actor in Los Angeles, tries to take his own life. After recovering in the hospital, he reluctantly accepts his sister’s offer to stay with her in upstate New York.

The Adjustment Bureau director George Nolfi is set to make XOXO, a tense social media thriller that is said to be in the vein of Fatal Attraction.

But that is just the tip of it all. Nolfi will be using a script written by Black Swan screenwriter Mark Heyman, and will receive some assistance from Darren Aronofsky, Michael London,, and Kelly Mullen. That’s quite the behind the scenes kind of team any filmmaker would love to have.
