Elizabeth Banks

Actress Elizabeth Banks is in final negotiations to star in Paul Haggis’ next feature The Next Three Days. The Lionsgate project is said to be a remake of the 2008 French suspense/thriller Pour Elle, directed by Fred Cavaye.

Banks’ character Laura is a woman who allegedly commits a crime but fights to deny the accusation. Russell Crowe will play her husband who tries desperately to prove her innocence.

Shooting is scheduled to begin next month.
