<p><strong>Lily Collins </strong>just <strong></strong>shared some exciting news: she will step into the shoes of the iconic British actress <strong>Audrey Hepburn</strong> in an upcoming movie that delves into the making of <strong><em>Breakfast at Tiffany&#x27;s</em></strong>.</p><div><em></em><strong><em></em></strong></div><p>&quot;It&#x27;s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I’m finally able [to] share this. Honored and ecstatic don’t begin to express how I feel…,&quot; Lily shared.</p><p><em></em>The iconic rom-com <em>Breakfast at Tiffany&#x27;s</em> is based on the 1958 novella by<strong> Truman Capote</strong> and was adapted into a film in 1961, as directed by <strong>Blake Edwards </strong>from a screenplay by<strong> George Axelrod</strong>.<strong></strong> <em></em><em></em><br/></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771886876884lily collins as audrey hepburn breakfast at tiffanys.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @lilyjcollins</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>This project—which the <em><strong>Emily in Paris </strong></em>star will work on, not only in her capacity as an actress but also as a producer with her company, <strong>Case Study Films</strong>—is based on<strong> Sam Wasson</strong>’s bestselling book<em><strong> Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman</strong></em>, descrbed as &quot;the first ever complete account of the making of the film.&quot; </p><p><em>Breakfast at Tiffany&#x27;s </em>was a monumental project for Audrey Hepburn, which further solidified her role in the entertainment industry, not just in acting, but also in the style department. The movie brought to life the character of<strong> Holly Golightly</strong>, a socialite who crosses paths with a struggling writer who just moved into her apartment building. For this role, Hepburn was nominated as Best Actress at the Academy Awards, and the movie garnered awards and nominations from various award-giving bodies. The movie has become a timeless reference that continues to resonate today. </p><p>What this movie on the making of <em>Breakfast at Tiffany&#x27;s </em>will show are the dramas that unfolded pre-filming (like how Hepburn was not the first actress Capote had in mind for this project, but Marilyn Monroe) and on the set (like what went on during the filming of the iconic Tiffany &amp; Co. facade scene).<em></em><em></em><em></em></p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMCtGvJJ4E6/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=720&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A4675623.6000000015%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="957" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p><a href="https://deadline.com/2026/02/lily-collins-to-play-audrey-hepburn-breakfast-at-tiffanys-movie-1236731051/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to <em>Deadline</em></a>, <strong></strong>Alena Smith, who&#x27;s known for her work in the Apple TV+ series <em>Dickinson</em>,<em></em> will be in charge of the script.
