"It's with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I'm finally able to share this. Honoured and ecstatic don't begin to express how I feel."
"The book details dramatic pre-production battles, including writer Truman Capote's unsuccessful campaign to cast Marilyn Monroe as Holly Golightly and his later claim that Paramount had "double-crossed" him by casting Hepburn, as well as on-set tensions, studio efforts to soften the character's sexual undertones, and the film's lasting cultural impact."
Lily Collins has been cast to portray Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming film about the production of the 1961 classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. The project, developed over nearly a decade, is based on Sam Wasson's nonfiction book Fifth Avenue, 5 AM, which details the dramatic behind-the-scenes story of the film's creation. The narrative covers conflicts including writer Truman Capote's failed attempt to cast Marilyn Monroe as Holly Golightly, on-set tensions, studio efforts to modify the character's sexual elements, and the film's cultural significance. Alena Smith, creator of Apple TV+'s Dickinson, is writing the screenplay. Collins' production company Case Study Films and Imagine Entertainment are developing the project with producer Scott LaStaiti.
