Gone are the days when Hailee Steinfeld had to define ridiculous words like “blingatude” in Kmart commercials. The Oscar nominee is in talks to play the lead in a new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet from Gosford Park screenwriter Julian Fellowes. The movie, budgeted at $15 million, will shoot in Italy later this year. Steinfeld will also revisit the classics in a “revisionist” Sleeping Beauty from screenwriter Linsday Devlin. [ THR ]
