Emily Blunt thanks literary agent sister for film opportunities

Actress Emily Blunt and her sister are on the road to creating a family film empire, the actress is currently developing book opportunities her literary agent sister has sent her.

The Young Victoria star feels very lucky because she gets to pick the best new authors before they become known to the top film executives.

She says: "My sister is a literary agent so she sends me books that she thinks would be good for film. She sent me two recently that I'm trying to get the rights to."

Blunt has also announced that she would like to land a major TV drama.

She adds: "I think some of the great work on television is pretty awesome. I am completely obsessed with Mad Men to the point where it's a distraction. I have watched every single episode twice."
