Elizabeth Banks to Play Tinkerbell in Disney’s Live Action Romantic Comedy ‘Tink’

Posted on Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 by Adam Quigley

Tinkerbell has already appeared in film four times now—first in the silent 1924 version of Peter Pan; most memorably in the ’50s animated classic; later in Spielberg’s Hook, where she was played by Julia Roberts; and most recently in 2003′s Peter Pan, as portrayed by the gorgeous (and frequently clothesless) Ludivine Sagnier.

Until now.

Elizabeth Banks will star as Tinkerbell in Tink, a live-action romantic comedy from Disney which “plays with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character”. Learn more after the break. Read More »
