Abduction star Lily Collins to play Juliet in modern Shakespearian taleFebruary 27, 2012 - 16:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lily Collins could be giving Romeo a run for his money as she is in talks to play Juliet in Rosaline. The Abduction starlet looks set to join Michael Sucsy's big screen version of Rebecca Serles' as-yet-unpublished novel When You Were Mine, which gives the Shakespearean tale a modern spin, Belfast Telegraph reported, citing Variety. Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld, who appeared in the Coen brothers' True Grit, had previously been attached to the role. The British actress is tipped to be cast as the heroine, alongside Dave Franco as Romeo and Deborah Ann Woll as Rosaline. The contemporary story, which is set in a US high school, is told through Rosaline's eyes.
