PARK CITY, Utah – Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are accustomed to sharing the same stage — and keeping a crowd in stitches — since starring on “Saturday Night Live” together from 2005 to 2013. But in their new film “Skeleton Twins,” they get melodramatic.

Playing estranged, suicidal twins in the film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, the pair tackles heavy inner demons.

This being Hader’s first big dramatic role, the actor said he felt relaxed on the set with Wiig there supporting him.
