Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks star in screenwriter Alex Kurtzman’s directorial debut, People Like Us (formerly known as Welcome to People). DreamWorks is hoping for the sort of success they found with last year’s release of the adult drama, The Help, although People Like Us doesn’t have the benefit of being based on a bestseller.
Set for release on June 29th, People Like Us also stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Olivia Wilde, Michael Hall D’Addario, and Philip Baker Hall.
The Plot:
From DreamWorks Pictures comes People Like Us, a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father’s last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about his family—and re-examine his own life choices in the process.
