Well, the upcoming movie _The Skeleton Twins_ could be just the thing you’ve been missing. True, the film’s premise — a set of estranged twins are reunited after they each experience a brush with death — is much darker than the usual _SNL_ fare, but the trailer proves that Wiig and Hader, as the titular twins, still have that old spark. That dance to “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” alone is reason enough to check out the film, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews. The film, which was directed by Craig Johnson and written by Johnson and Mark Heyman, even won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. _The Skeleton Twins_ will hit theaters across the U.S. on September 19. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2944514/skeleton-twins-trailer-kristen-wiig/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2944514/skeleton-twins-trailer-kristen-wiig/"},"headline":"Watch Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader in The Skeleton Twins Trailer","datePublished":"2014-07-01T11:33:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:54:56.816Z","description":"The two \"Saturday Night Live\" alums reunite as depressed twins in the upcoming dramedy","url":"https://time.com/2944514/skeleton-twins-trailer-kristen-wiig/","keywords":["movies","Kristen Wiig","Bill Hader"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2944514/skeleton-twins-trailer-kristen-wiig/","name":"Watch Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader in The Skeleton Twins Trailer"}}]}] ```
