The legendary Audrey Hepburn died in 1993, and riding the wave of current biopic popularity, a film about the making of the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” in which Hepburn played the iconic character Holly Golightly, is in development. According to Deadline, the new film will be based on Sam Wasson’s book “Fifth Avenue, 5 AM,” which details what really happened on the set of “Breakfast.” By the way, Audrey played the role of 19-year-old Holly when she was already 32.
Cinema icon Audrey Hepburn will be played in the film by the star of “Emily in Paris”, 36-year-old Lily Collins, whose physical resemblance to the actress has long been noted by both fans and critics. Collins herself confirmed the news by publishing an official statement.
After almost 10 years of preparation for the project and a lifetime of admiration for Audrey, I can finally share this news. The words “honor” and “ecstasy” cannot describe my feelings…
It is not yet known who will take the director’s chair, but Lily Collins’ fans are already eagerly anticipating the start of filming.
