Elizabeth Banks is to lead the cast of the recently greenlit ‘Skincare,’ from Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment and Producers Jonathan Schwartz and Logan Lerman, directed by Austin Peters.
Banks is joined by a supporting cast that includes Lewis Pullman (“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Bad Times at the El Royale”), Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Michaela Jae Rodriguez (“Pose,” “Nurse Jackie”), Luis Gerardo Mendez, and Nathan Fillion (“Serenity,” “Firefly”).
The vanity thriller is set in Hollywood, but any further details on the movie’s plot are being kept under wraps. The screenplay was written by Deering Regan, Sam Freilich and Austin Peters. Production wrapped before the Writers’ strike.

Andrea Iervolino and Lady Monika Bacardi financed and produced the film through their ILBE banner alongside Logan Lerman and Jonathan Schwartz. ‘Skincare’ is the third film Schwartz and Lerman have collaborated on as producers following A24’s “The Vanishing of Sidney Hall” and CJ ENM’s “Press Play.”
Writers Deering Regan and Sam Freilich are executive producers as well.
Earlier this year, Banks starred in the feature drama ‘Call Jane’ alongside Sigourney Weaver, which premiered at Sundance and London Film Festival. On the production side, Banks made her directorial debut in 2015 with ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ and produced the ‘Pitch Perfect’ franchise through her production company Brownstone Productions, along with her husband Max Handelman.
