Katherine Heigl is a Killer Housewife in Red Band Trailer for 'Home Sweet Hell'

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 intolerable romantic comedies. The public doesn't really regard her that way, anymore, and she's been less of a presence on the big and small screen lately, which may explain why she's in a movie like Home Sweet Hell.

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.

Cast of 'Fast & Furious 7' Remember Paul Walker; Film Delayed Not Cancelled

News of Paul Walker's death yesterday in a car accident continues to have the Hollywood community in a state of shock, and legions of the actor's fans and peers have come out on social media to comment on his passing. That includes the people he'll be most closely associated, his co-stars in the Fast & Furious franchise, a close-knit group many would say is closer to a family that just another cast. Vin Diesel, who starred with Walker in four F&F movies beginning in 2001, posted the above image to Instagram along with these words...

"Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace."

Early this morning Diesel would then take to Twitter to further express his condolences....

My heart is hurting so sad. Paul walker was a good man. RIP my friend... Sorry to the Walker family.

Other members of the Fast & Furious family expressed similar feelings about Walker....

I am so beyond heartbroken right now. I can't process anything.

Meanwhile, production on Fast & Furious 7 has understandably been delayed to allow the cast time to grieve. Filming was set to begin anew next week in Atlanta, but that will be held off until Universal execs and director James Wan come up with a plan for handling the situation. A good deal of the film had already been shot, and the cast was due to move to Abu Dhabi soon for additional shooting, but rewrites may be in order to explain the fate of Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, one of the two main leads opposite Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto. The film was already in a time squeeze to have it ready by next summer, and a lengthy delay could force them to change the release date.
It's also unclear whether plans will continue to keep Fast & Furious alive through a ninth film, or if this will force Universal to reevaluate.
