Yet another of the sf bestsellers that your dear Dezzy the spy is translating this summer RED QUEEN is, as I've informed you earlier, getting a movie adaptation, and now THR reports that Elizabeth Banks will direct it after scoring success with helming PITCH PERFECT 2.

It’s a hierarchy where commoners are red blooded and serve the silver blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. The protagonist is a Red, who scrapes by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own, and her once latent magical power draws her into the dangerous intrigue of the king’s palace.
