Eric Siegel and Eric D. Wasserman have been hired to write and executive produce the project as well.
Banks recently finished shooting the first instalment in the Hunger Games trilogy.
She said last month that she struggles with being a working mother, admitting that she has had to rely on "great help" to care for her child while she is away.

The Hunger Games will hit theatres on March 23, 2012.
