Jessica Biel & Elizabeth Banks Say They Felt An Instant Sibling Bond As ‘The Better Sister’ Co-Stars — Contenders TV


Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks talked about the instant sibling bond they felt ahead of filming 'The Better Sister' at Deadline's Contenders TV.

They’re not related, but from the first time they sat down to discuss their roles in Prime Video’s domestic thriller, The Better Sister, Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks clicked in a way that carried through to their performances, both actresses said on Sunday at Deadline Contenders TV. The two actresses, who are also executive producers on the show, discussed Biel’s anxieties about sending her son off to camp for the first time — an experience that Banks was able to speak to knowledgeably as a mother whose children are older. Milch raved about Burke’s “twisty, turny, amazing” novel and said that when Tomorrow Studios acquired the rights, she and Corrado found themselves with an opportunity to do what they love: “telling stories about excellent, complicated women.”
