Lily Collins: 'Romeo & Juliet' Pushed Back a Bit

Lily Collins is a new Juliet…but just when will we see her as Juliet?

The 21-year-old actress isn’t sure.

Lily tells MTV, “They came to me last year with the script—it’s based in the Renaissance period—and they wanted me to play Juliet,” she said. “I’ve been a huge Shakespeare fan ever since I could read. For me, it was a dream role.”

She continued, “I’m still attached as Juliet. With everything else that comes up, if that’s not set to go, then that gets pushed. It’s still there and I hope it does work out.”
