Lily Collins is set to play Audrey Hepburn in a film on the screen icon and the making of her 1961 classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s...
With Dickinson‘s Alena Smith aboard to adapt, the film is based on Sam Wasson’s bestselling book :Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman."....With a cast of characters including Truman Capote, Edith Head, director Blake Edwards, and, of course, Hepburn herself...
One of the defining figures of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Hepburn won an Oscar for Roman Holiday and went on to star in additional classics like Sabrina and Funny Face before coming around to Breakfast at Tiffany’s...based on Truman Capote’s novella, which cemented her as a global fashion and cultural icon...
Her character, Holly Golightly, is a young New York socialite who becomes interested in a young man new to her apartment building, only for her past to threaten to come between the two. Nominated for five Oscars, with Hepburn competing for Best Actress, the film won two, in Score and Song, and entered the U.S. National Film Registry in 2012...
Currently, Collins can be seen starring in Netflix’s hit romantic dramedy Emily in Paris...

Someone once asked Blake Edwards why he cast Mickey Rooney in that role- he had gotten a lot of criticism from the Japanese community- he replied “I don’t know what the hell I was thinking”.
I was thinking they would have picked Rashida Tlaib.
Hollywood is so out of ideas and creativity, that they’ve been reduced to making movies about making other movies, or remaking movies, invariably making them much worse.
Why remake it? Make something new.
LOL!
Because there is no creativity. Only outcome equality at the lowest common denominator.
With Hepburn, it was Wait Until Dark.
Who plays Mickey Rooney who portrayed an overwhelming over the top stereotype of a Japanese guy?
There are some pretty good movies about movies; after all, that is preeminently the domain in which the writers, directors and actors actually know what they're talking about.
Start with Tropic Thunder. The list goes on from there.
Yea, that’s gonna be tricky...
It’s not a remake of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It’s a film about the making of the movie, based on Sam Wasson’s nonfiction book.
My Fair Laddy?..................
So they finally hired a pretty white chick for a major film role ... about pretty white chicks.
Thanks.
The Micky Rooney character ruined that movie.
They should have cast Samuel L Jackson as Audrey Hepburn.
Seems like it would be in keeping with the trend.
Well, that's really not the same thing.
Peck was an outspoken Hollywood lib. He supported restricting gun rights. Some of his positions re. civil rights in the 1960s may have been on-base - and he doesn't seem to have made any really vitriolic or scandalous statements à la Jane Fonda et al. - but there's no need to "hagiographize" him.
As for Audrey Hepburn -

Suggest that they use 3-D printing tech to create a full rubber mask for her.

Begs for more context / more explanation!
Is that a generally used "term of art?" When I hear "silent actors," I think "silent films." Is this simply another (politer) term for "background figure" or "extra?" Does he appear chiefly in "crowd scenes?"
Like casually referencing "one of my billionaire buddies who founded the Club of Rome; he, too, recently said the same thing!" Attracts far more attention than the putative statement.
