More enticing news out of Cannes: comedienne Elizabeth Banks has just signed on to star in True Blood creator Alan Ball’s next feature What’s The Matter With Margie? Deadline reports Ball, who won an Oscar for his original screenplay American Beauty, penned the feature and is on board to produce; Daniel Minahan, who has helmed numerous episodes of True Blood‘s including its upcoming season five premiere, will direct.
What’s The Matter With Margie? centers on a bullied office-worker who—after years of abuse and mockery—finally snaps and decides to murder her tormentors. On it’s surface, it may seem a story too dark to be funny, but Ball has shown a real gift for macabre humor, both on True Blood and the funeral home-based Six Feet Under, which he also created. For her part, Banks seems ideal casting for the put-upon Margie. She’s got an easy affability that may help smooth the edges of the heroine’s homicidal urges, and her pitch-perfect comedic timing should spark with Ball’s signature sharp dialogue.
