Titled “Tink,” the live-action romantic comedy has Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and McG developing the project as producers.

The film will follow the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character. The idea was hatched by Banks with Max Handelman, who not only co-runs the actress’ production label, Brownstone Prods, but is her husband as well.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro, who has already worked with Banks on a number of projects, is on board to write the script.

Screenplays that Shapiro has penned on Banks’ behalf include “Keiko,” which Banks is attached to direct per Variety.

Shapiro has also penned “Allies With Benefits,” which Scott Free is producing.

Banks’ Brownstone label was recently behind the Disney Bruce Willis headliner “The Surrogates.” The label is quite busy with other projects, “Forever 21″ at DreamWorks and “Pitch Perfect,” at Universal.

Banks’ upcoming acting gigs include Paul Haggis’ “The Next Three Days,” opposite Russell Crowe, and “The Details,” with Tobey Maguire.

At one point, Disney attempted to re-boot “Tinkerbell” as an animated film with Brittany Murphy as the voice. Project proceeded forward as a straight-to-video franchise sans Murphy’s vocals.

We went straight to the big-time fancy movie star herself for the answer and here’s what she had to say: “You would think I’ll be back. I am knocked up, for sure by Jack Donaghy on the show so you’ll have to wait and see.” A vague, non-committal yes? We’ll take it!

“Brother” centers on an idealist (Rudd) dealing with his over¬bearing mother who crashes at the homes of his three ambitious sisters and brings truth, happiness and a sunny disposition into their lives while also wreaking havoc.

Banks, Deschanel and Mortimer will play the sisters.

Banks is a career-driven single about to get her big break in journalism after spending years writing about accessories at a fashion magazine; Deschanel is a bisexual whose flakiness and lies are getting in the way of moving forward with her caring, responsible girlfriend (Jones); and Mortimer plays a Park Slope mom too worried about having the perfect life and children to notice that her marriage is falling apart.

Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall wrote the screenplay for the pic, which is slated to go before cameras next month in New York.

Banks, repped by UTA and Untitled Entertainment, next appears opposite Russell Crowe in “The Next Three Days,” directed by Paul Haggis. She also will appear in “The Details” opposite Tobey Maguire and Laura Linney.

Deschanel, repped by CAA and Seven Summits Pictures and Management, most recently starred in “(500) Days of Summer” and next appears this year in “Your Highness,” starring James Franco and Natalie Portman.

Mortimer, repped by ICM, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Independent Talent Group, most recently appeared in “Shutter Island.”

Jones, repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, co-stars on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and recently wrapped David Fincher’s “The Social Network.”

They forgot “Amazon Women on the Moon,” which for my money is the best of that bunch. No matter. The news here is that the cast is massive and the behind-the-lens talent — some of whom have already completed their work — is equally massive. Find the full list (so far) after the jump.

The cast, which is described as “growing,” currently features: Elizabeth Banks, Gerard Butler, Kieran Culkin, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Liev Schreiber, Sean William Scott, Tony Shalhoub, Emma Stone, Matt Walsh, Patrick Warburton, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet.

Whew.

A number of filmmakers have already completed work on their sketches, including Banks(?– she directs too?), Farrelly, Brett Ratner, Bob Odenkirk and Griffin Dunne.

Now here’s an idea I can get behind. Sketch comedy movies have been absent too long from this world. There have been one or two, but I think it’s safe to say that this is the biggest of them since “Amazon Women” in 1987, 10 years after “Kentucky Fried Movie.” I’d like to share a clip from one of those classics here, but they were unfortunately made in the days when comedy still had balls. All I can say is that you should seek out “Amazon Women,” “Kentucky Fried” and their ilk if you haven’t so you can behold the glory for yourself.
