Elizabeth Banks will star in a medical drama called “A Mistake,” in which she plays a surgeon fighting for her career after the death of a patient. Christine Jeffs (“Sunshine Cleaning,” “Sylvia,” “Rain”) will write and direct the film that’s based on a novel by Carl Shuker. “A Mistake” stars Banks as Elizabeth Taylor, a gifted surgeon and the only female consultant at her hospital. “A Mistake” is Jeffs’ first film since 2008’s “Sunshine Cleaning.” She’s also producing the film along with Matthew Metcalfe and Dean Spanley for GFC Films. Film financing has been offered by the New Zealand Film Commission and Te Puna Kairangi, the New Zealand Government’s Premium Productions for International Audiences Fund.
