Per The Hollywood Reporter, Banks is promoting The Better Sister, in which “Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks star as estranged sisters Chloe Taylor (Biel) and Nicky Macintosh (Banks) who despite living opposite lives — Chloe leads a picturesque existence with her lawyer husband Adam (Corey Stoll) and teenage son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan), while Nicky struggles to stay clean — must come together when Chloe’s husband is murdered. To make matters more complicated, Nicky is also Adam’s ex and Ethan’s biological mother.” Juicy! This is based on the sort of book I like to read on an airplane, and this is not a zinger. I love to read books on airplanes and will in fact soon be on an airplane in need of books, so I think I might buy it. Thank you, Elizabeth Banks! (Banks is indeed known for being interested in optioning various books and I believe she and Biel co-produced this.) (If you’re a Kindle reader, the Amazon e-book is currently $1.99, surely to take advantage of urges like the one I just had.) (Parenthesis!)
As far as these promotional looks go, they are Extremely Fine — I actually quite like the black and white one — but we’re gonna need to ratchet this up a little. We all remember what she did for The Hunger Games and while I definitely don’t expect the full Effie Trinket, I’d love a splash of Trinket. Just a hint of Trinket! A little bite of Trinket. A Trinklette, if you will.
