Rumors have been circulating that actress and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks may take the helm on the Red Queen film adaptation. Banks (pictured, via) recently made her debut as a director with the hit movie, Pitch Perfect 2.
The Guardian reports that Gennifer Hutchison, a writer who has worked on both the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul TV shows, will adapt Victoria Aveyard’s young adult book for the script. HarperCollins released this dystopian novel, the first installment of a planned trilogy, back in February 2015.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story “is set in a world divided by blood color — red for ordinary people, silver for elites with supernatural abilities. When a street urchin saves her best friend, she is brought before the king and queen, where she suddenly displays special powers — powers impossible for a red blood.”
Lionsgate has released a trailer for the romantic-comedy adaptation of the pregnancy handbook, What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

Plenty of celebrities–from Kristen Bell to Elizabeth Banks–have tweeted about Suzanne Collins‘ Hunger Games trilogy. But, not all of them have their very own talk show. That’s what sets Tyra Banks apart from all the rest. You can read Banks’ Twitter book review in the image embedded above: “Soooooo good!!!”
Shelf Life poked fun at the review: “That is especially impressive, since six o’s and three exclamation points is the highest possible score in Tyra’s rating system. (By comparison, she thought Twilight was ‘Soooo good!!’ and she broke with critical consensus by only giving the new Franzen a tepid ‘Soo good!’)”
Oprah Winfrey chose Jonathan Franzen‘s Freedom as this year’s book club pick. Could Banks review books in a post-Oprah world? Some feel that with or without Oprah, publishing will go on.
