PEOPLE LIKE US’ TRAILER FEATURES CHRIS PINE & ELIZABETH BANKS AS SIBLINGS

With  Transformers, Cowboys & Aliens, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible III under his belt, screenwriter/producer Alex Kurtzmandecided to venture into an entirely different genre with his directorial debut,People Like Us.

Opening June 29th, the DreamWorks feature stars Star Trek’s Chris Pine as Sam, a salesman who’s way over his head in debt.  When his late father leaves $150,000 to the sister (Elizabeth Banks) Sam never knew he had, he ingratiates himself into her life without spilling the beans about the cash.

The movie also stars Cowboys & Aliens director Jon Favreau and the sci-fi/Western film’s lead actress, Olivia Wilde.  After watching Pine kill it on the Los Angeles stage a couple of summers ago in The Lieutenant of Inishmore (he played a cat loving terrorist), I’ve been waiting for the actor to sink his teeth into something a bit more character driven than Unstoppable and This Means War.  People Like Us, blessed with a stellar cast (including Michelle Pfeiffer), could be that vehicle.
