July 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) ‘Walt Disney Pictures’ has at long last decided to make a film which will feature the feisty and mischievous fairy friend of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, or “Tink” as the movie is named, with Elizabeth Banks named as the actress playing the leading role.

‘Variety’ says that the movie will explore, “the mischievous nature of the Tinker Bell character,as brought to life by Banks this time around.” It was also said that the portrayal by Banks of the pixie’s antics will not be very much like those of the original Tinker Bell, the creation of author J.M.Barrie. The former pixie had a mean streak, and was so jealous of the character Wendy Darling, that Tinker Bell tried to get Wendy killed.

The film will be produced by ‘Bank’s Brownstone Productions’ along with Adam Shankman, and Jennifer Gibgot from the movie ‘Hairspray’. McG from ‘Terminator:Salvation’ will also have a hand in it, and the novice screenwriter Elizabeth Wright Shapiro will be working on the script.

Fans will best remember Banks for her roles in ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ and ‘Zack and the Miri’. She also worked for a short time on the television show ‘Scrubs’. She also played the dark haired ‘Miss Brant’ in the first three ‘Spiderman’ movies after dying her blonde hair.
