In the flick — an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ popular sci-fi book series — Banks would play Effie Trinket, a pink-haired showbiz type who becomes the handler of Katniss, the heroine played by Jennifer Lawrence.
The book’s title comes from an annual event where boys and girls are chosen to fight each other to the death in a post-apocalyptic world.
Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth are already cast as love interests, while relative newcomers Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi were cast earlier Monday as Rue and Thresh, respectively. Gary Ross is directing the Lionsgate movie.
