There was a short spell there when Katherine Heigl was viewed as one of America's sweethearts. Her role as "Izzie" on Grey's Anatomy seemed to reenforce that public perception, along with a series of cutesy
The plus side is that Heigl has a chance to show a darker, more devious side and that's what she seems to be embracing in the film's new red band trailer. She plays Mona, the maddeningly stifling and dominating wife to her husband Don (Patrick Wilson). When he admits to committing adultery with a co-worker (Jordana Brewster), Mona convinces him to kill her, leading to all a situation that spirals rapidly out of control. Heigl appears to be having way too much fun ("No, silly, get the hammer.") and Wilson is always great when playing the hapless husband. It's kind of a spin on the character he played in Little Children, only with more murder and crystal meth.
Directed by Anthony Burns (Skateland) with Jim Belushi and Kevin McKidd co-starring, Home Sweet Hell has yet to gain a release date.
