Wedding bells for Kristin Wiig?

In very welcome news THR.com is reporting that SNL's only surviving comedian (excepting perhaps Seth Meyers on a good day) is getting her own star vehicle. Wiig will reportedly be starring in a comedy which she co-wrote and will be teaming with the creative team behind the critically acclaimed but tragically cancelled Freaks and Geeks. The project, tentatively entitled Bridesmaids, will follow two friends attempting to plan a friend's wedding and, in all likelihood, failing miserably.

With Wiig's career on an almost meteoric rise of late I'm interested to see what comes of this. For the moment she can also be seen in the upcoming film All Good Things starring Ryan Gosling, described as a love story/murder mystery, and after that will be taking a turn in Paul, the new film from the team behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Stuff.
