From "Cocaine Bear" to caveman times, it seems like Elizabeth Banks is the go-to talent for the most headline-grabbing concepts out there. After telling the saga of that poor bear ending up on the wrong end of a drug smuggling operation gone horribly awry, the actor/director is turning her attention to a much more kid-friendly subject: the beloved cartoon, "The Flintstones."
