Actor-filmmaker Elizabeth Banks is all set to star in a new thriller film titled Skincare. Lewis Pullman, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Luis Gerardo Méndez, and Nathan Fillion are also starring in the film that is directed by Austin Peters.

Though the plot details of the film, which has a script written by Peters, Deering Regan, and Sam Freilich, are under wraps, the film is billed as a vanity thriller. Deadline has reported that the film wrapped its production prior to the writers’ strike.
