Elizabeth Banks Joining Up With “People”
Elizabeth Banks is negotiating to take on the female lead in “Welcome to People,” the Dreamworks drama written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jody Lambert. Kurtzman will also direct the film, which has Chris Pine attached to star as well. “People” follows a businessman who returns home after his estranged father’s death and discovers that he has an alcoholic sister with a 12-year-old son. Banks will play the sister. Kurtzman and Orci (”Transformers,” “Star Trek”) are producing through their DreamWorks-based Paper Products banner, along with Bobby Cohen.
