We need more kick-ass female directors out there, and with the HUGE success of Pitch Perfect 2, she is now on the front lines of being the next name in directing.
The Hollywood Reporter says Banks has her eye focused now on directing a film adaptation of fantasy YA novel, The Red Queen. This would be a huge step up in budget and directing prowess (with all the visual effects) for her, but we think she could CRUSH IT.
She clearly has a passion for geeky things, and an understanding on YA adventure from her time acting in The Hunger Games franchise - so we really hope this happens!

Novel synopsis: In a world divided by blood color - red for ordinary people, silver for elites with supernatural abilities, a street urchin saves her best friend and is brought before the king and queen. She surprisingly displays special powers during her audience - powers impossible for a red blood. To hide this startling news and to keep her under control, the king invents a past for the young woman as a lost princess and sets her up to marry one of his sons. But the woman soon finds herself conflicted as she becomes part of the silver world while at the same time aiding a group plotting a red rebellion.
