NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Lego Movie, Pitch Perfect and The Hunger Games icon Elizabeth Banks says she wanted to star in the satirical thriller, Skincare, because it skillfully taps into modern anxieties.

"One of the aspects of the script that really stood out to me were all of the details about the world of institutions in Los Angeles, very specifically in Hollywood. But, at the end of the day, I also felt like there was a giant sort of existential crisis inside the movie that was relatable to anybody," Banks, 50, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
