>The poster for the new Judd Apatow production Bridesmaids has debuted online. Last month we called it the sixth most exciting upcoming release of 2011. Now that we have a glimpse at its poster, consider our excitement amplified.
Pictured from left to right are the film’s hilarious (and rather badass-looking) leading ladies: Melissa McCarthy (Gilmore Girls), Wendi McLendon-Covey (Reno 911), Ellie Kemper (The Office), Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live, Whip It), Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Away We Go) and Rose Byrne (Get Him To The Greek).
Wiig stars as Annie, Maid of Honour for Lillian’s (Rudolph) wedding. When plans for the wedding start to fall apart, competitive Helen (Byrne) attempts to usurp Annie as head bridesmaid.
The film was written by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, and directed by Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks). It co-stars Jon Hamm (even his rampant masculinity must feel threatened by the grrrl power emanating out of this poster).
Bridesmaids opens May 2011.
Discuss: I don’t think I’ll ever tire of Ellie Kemper’s expression in that poster.
>…or her legs… or Wiig's legs… or Byrne's a… ahem…Should be a good movie.
