Elizabeth Banks Signs to ‘Tink’
Disney are set to make a live action romantic comedy based on the mischievous fairy Tinkerbell from 'Peter Pan'.
The story is a closely guarded secret but we do know that the ever lovable Elizabeth Banks who has starred as Betty Brant in the blockbuster 'Spider-Man' trilogy and has starred in 'Slither', 'Zach and Miri Make a Porno' and 'The Uninvited' is set to star in the film.
The production team include Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and McG from a screenplay by Elizabeth Wright Shapiro, it's still early days on the project, and there's no director attached yet.
Despite the actresses involvement, and even though there has been a number of individuals shepherding the movie into production, the involvement of McG can’t help but turn a few noses. After all, Charlies Angels, Charlies Angels: Full Throttle and Terminator: Salvation were, if we’re being honest, a bit rubbish, that said, the last time Disney went live-action with the J. M. Barrie’s universe we were treated to Peter Pan (2003), a surprisingly mature take on the character and world.
Banks will also be seen alongside Paul Rudd in 'My Idiot Brother' which is due out in 2011.
