The star of 'Emily in Paris' is often compared to the iconic actress. Lily Collins herself notes that playing the role of Audrey Hepburn is a great honor for her.
After many years of comparisons in the press and social media, the fans' dream has finally come true: Lily Collins will embody the legendary actress Audrey Hepburn on screen. Lily will not only don the iconic image but will also play the lead role in the film about the making of the legendary romantic comedy 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' Variety reports.
The film will be based on the book by writer Sam Wasson, 'Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of Modern Woman.' The plot centers around the transformation of the 1961 film into a cultural phenomenon and the story of a woman who changed the very notion of femininity on screen.
Collins will not only star in the lead role but will also serve as one of the producers of the project. The screenplay is being written by Alena Smith, the creator of the series 'Dickinson.' The name of the director has not yet been revealed, but according to the publication, filming will begin in the coming months.
The actress admitted that this project has become personal for her: 'After nearly ten years of admiration for Audrey, I can finally share this,' she wrote on social media.
Fans have long noted the incredible resemblance between Lily and Hepburn – their refined facial features, impeccable style, and even similar mannerisms in front of the camera. Therefore, the news of the upcoming film was perceived by fans as a natural development.
