For the longest time, whenever I would think of James McAvoy, all I could picture was Mr. Tumnus from The Chronicles of Narnia. But he’s shown remarkable range doing films like THe Last King Of Scotland, Atonement and even pulling off being an action hero in “Wanted”.
Elizabeth Banks is an actress I’ve said for YEARS now would be a very big deal. I fell in lust with her over her small part in 40 Year Old Virgin, and fell in love with her in Slither (such an underrated and under appreciated movie).
Anyway, the two of them are joining up for a new project called “The Details”. Our friends over at Rope Of Silicon give us the plot:
Details is a black comedy penned by Estes centered on a couple (McAvoy and Banks) who discover an infestation of raccoons in their back yard. Disagreements over how to deal with the animals lead to an escalating series of events.
Yuck… sounds like the plot for Ice Cube’s “Are We There Yet”. Well… they do say it’s a dark comedy, so lets wait and see for more details to come out. I love these two performers, but the premise of this flick doesn’t sound appealing yet.
