Lily Collins is finally playing Audrey Hepburn

25 Feb - She may have lost the role in "Dinner with Audrey" to Thomasin McKenzie, but the modern-day Audrey Hepburn, Lily Collins finally gets to play the iconic actress in another Hepburn-related movie.

The movie will be adapted from Sam Wasson's book, "Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Dawn of the Modern Woman," and to be penned by Alena Smith of "Dickinson" fame.

Collins herself shared the good news on social media with a photo of Hepburn as her iconic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" character Holly Golightly, writing, "It's with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I'm finally able to share this. Honoured and ecstatic don't begin to express how I feel..."

Wasson's book takes readers on a journey through the movie through pre-production, on-set issues and a release that became a watershed moment in film, fashion and larger culture.

It includes real life characters like "Breakfast at Tiffany's" writer Truman Capote, costumer Edith Head, and director Blake Edwards.
