Elizabeth Banks Confirmed as Effie

Yes, another cast member of Hunger Games has been announced again already! Shortly after releasing the names of many tributes the other day, actress Elizabeth Banks has been confirmed to play Effie Trinket, the Capitol escort for the district 13 tributes. Elizabeth is known for her roles in 30 Rock, Scrubs, and the Spider Man movies as well as much more. She has proven herself to be a fantastic versitile actress. It would be interesting to see what she has to bring to this futuristic post apocolyptic world that Suzanne Collins has created.

WIth the ecentric wardrobe that Suzanne Collins created in her books, it would be interesting to see how the wardrobe designer and make up artist decide to make Elizabeth look. I hope they don't play down any of the wild hair do's or clothing described. I think Elizabeth is one of those people who can carry that fun craziness.

Do you think Elizabeth will be a good Effie? Let us know in the comments section.
