Banks will take on Walk Of Shame

Elizabeth Banks is set to star in comedy Walk Of Shame.

The Hunger Games actress is tipped to take the lead role of an aspiring TV news presenter who wakes up with no memory of the previous night's events following a heavy night of partying, reported Variety.

With no money, car or idea of what happened, she has to go on a "walk of shame" to relive the night, and make it to an audition for a job in time.

Mr Deeds' Steven Brill is to direct from his own script, with production scheduled to start in January 2013.

Elizabeth will next be seen in singing comedy Pitch Perfect, which she also produced, before reprising her role as Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire.
