Hollywood beckons: Lily Collins has been cast as the lead in the new Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs movie


Lily Collins, the daughter of rock star Phil Collins, has landed her biggest Hollywood role in a live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

She is to play the fairy tale princess in a 3D version of the classic Disney cartoon alongside Julia Roberts playing the Evil Queen.

Lily, 22, is best known for appearing in the Oscar winning film The Blind Side where she played Sandra Bullock's daughter.


Proud: Lily and her famous father Phil last year


Her 60-year-old father, who recently announced he was retiring from performing, is said to be thrilled at her landing the coveted role.

'He's just a proud dad,' said Lily, who is the rock singer's daughter from his marriage to American Jill Tavelman.


Inspiration: The film is based on the 1937 Disney classic animation


Lily is said to have impressed the producers of the film with her audition.

She said of the role: 'Snow White was my favourite fairy tale [growing up], and when I first read about the project, I was like, "I have to get in on this. It's such an iconic character."

The new film called The Brothers Grimm: Snow White will feature Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen.
