Elizabeth Banks is in Everything Now?

I don't know what happened, and why it happened so suddenly, but it really seems like it. At least to me. Spider-Man 3, Fred Claus, Definitely, Maybe, Meet Bill and Meet Dave (WTF?) were all in a nice successive order of spaced time, but now she's got three movies (all comedies) coming out in the next MONTH -- which are Zach and Miri Make a Porno, Role Models, and W.

W. for frick's sake. That ain't normal, even in these days of Apatow.

She's also in a romantic drama (I think?) starring Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn that comes out next year apparently, and the latest stupid and unnecessary Americanized remake of an Asian horror movie, The Uninvited, as Violet Baudelaire's evil stepmother. Well, like, at least it's something different. And she's all villain-y!

Now, I like her, but dayam, her agent must LOVE her. Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. It's still majorly weird...

Thank god Emily Browning's actually in something, though. She was the best part of that Lemony Snicket movie.

I actually love it, but yeah. She really does have a lot of potential, and I'm glad she's getting work. Her face is so amazing just to look at, too.

Yeah, last night we saw Religulous and were given previews to the trifecta - Role Models, W, and The Uninvited. Overexposure, anyone?

I'm convinced that Elizabeth Banks is everywhere. I looked up her filmography and I didn't even notice that she was in all those movies. I kind of like how she's a bit of a chameleon, though.

Who the frick is Elizabeth Banks? Hadn't heard of her until Zak and Miri.

the world always needs more comediennes though.

Isn't "The Uninvited" the remake of "A Tale of Two Sisters"?

J.D. said...

Yes it is, Slayt.

And Sean, she's been in a lot of stuff before now (I primarily know her from Scrubs lol), and chances are you've seen something with her.

(LMAO her IMDb link is 6969?!)
