    Casting Call: Elizabeth Banks Joins Charlie Kaufman's Star-Studded 'Frank Or Francis'

    Access Hollywood – Sat, Jan 28, 2012 7:05 PM EST

    Elizabeth Banks has lined up a new gig.

    The "Man on a Ledge" star has been cast in Charlie Kaufman's ("Being John Malkovich," "Adaptation") star-studded musical, "Frank or Francis," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    The blond beauty will play "a highly-regarded actress making formulaic comedy bombs," who is having an affair with film director Frank (played by Steve Carell) in the upcoming movie, THR reports.

    In addition to Carell, Banks joins an impressive cast that includes Jack Black (set to play Francis, a snarky online blogger), Kevin Kline, Catherine Keener and Nicolas Cage in the satirical comedy.

    The film is slated for release in 2013.

      I like that movie she did with Russell Crowe " The Next Three Days" that was a good movie and also she is a beautiful woman. She was the right choice to play as Betty Brant of Spiderman 1-3 it just that I'm gonna miss her playing that role since they reboot the movie.
