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...

Tropic Thunder is most certainly a movie about making movies.

You're ray-cist if you notice - or, conversely, if you don't slavishly praise his boldness in subverting expectations!

I can’t believe they passed up the opportunity to cast Stacy Abrams who looks just like Audrey Hepburn.

LOL!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Love that song

"Emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt."

"Der Tag"

(Not from the actual episode!)

So far, apparently there is no one set to play the Mickey Rooney character. They shots get Bill Burr.

I was thinking the Dude from the Bud Light commercials.

"Tropic Thunder is most certainly a movie about making movies."

Yes, but "Tropic Thunder" was a comedy about the making of a fictitious movie, not a movie about another actual film that was made decades ago (which is essentially a docu-drama, if it isn't an actual documentary).

DAMN! Couldn’t they find an attractive actress(NOT ACTOR) to play the lead in the remake?

Charade is one of my favorites. I watch it at least once a year.

Peck was not a womanizer.

And having opinions is a First Amendment right.

Really? I’m the opposite! I find the ending of Roman Holiday so dissatisfying... Breakfast at Tiffany’s is my favorite Audrey film, and one of my favorite films in general.

But either way, she was lovely in everything!

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Indeed, Deep Blue Something's song is nostalgic for the film, and now 90s nostalgia is concurrent with that for classic Hollywood.

Also worth noting that Tiffany's is literally right next door to Trump Tower!

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Gregory Peck maintained close friendships with the likes of conservatives like: Charlton Heston, John Wayne, and Jimmy Stewart.

Thank you for acknowledging that we can respect and appreciate artists with different points of view.

Peck was not a womanizer.

Where did I say anything about him being a "womanizer?!"

And having opinions is a First Amendment right.

Where did I say anything about that not being his 1A right?

Your reply implies that I cast doubt on that.

(N.B.: Robert DeNiro is likewise well within his 1A rights to spew his hatred against Pres. Trump - but fellow conservatives would probably not feel it necessary to remonstrate me if I lambasted DeNiro for saying what he does.)
