Annette Bening will play Kristen Wiig's mother in Imogene, the tale of "a moderately successful Gotham playwright (Wiig) who stages a fake suicide attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend, only to end up forced into the custody of her gambling-addict mother." I hope this means the return of the shifty, savvy Bening we saw in The Grifters. I assume Kristen Wiig has a mean Anjelica Huston impersonation in her arsenal. In the meantime, Bening is working on He Loves Me with Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan. Oscar, please! [Deadline]
