Hollywood celebrity gossip has learned that LILY COLLINS originally auditioned for KRISTEN STEWART’s Snow White role in “Snow White and the Huntsman” before landing her part in “Mirror, Mirror” opposite JULIA ROBERTS.
Lily Collins, who plays the raven-haired, “skin as white as snow” princess in the upcoming fairytale flick “Mirror, Mirror,” tells Access Hollywood:
“I did read the other Snow White script… I auditioned for it, but I’ve been so excited for Kristen. I think that story is so different than ours and the girls are so different. She’s perfect for her version.”
She adds:
“I’m really excited to be doing this one… I think they have totally different audiences.”
Despite the fact that “Mirror, Mirror” is more fun and lighthearted as opposed to the darker, more violent “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Lily reveals that it has its fair share of fight scenes, too. She admits:
“This was insane training… I’ve been fight training and fencing for about three months now. I was kickboxing, doing some stuff on wires. It’s been really intense.”
As for working with Julia Roberts, who plays the Evil Queen, Lily gushes:
“Julia was amazing… Her laugh and smile — that’s classic Julia and she brings that to the movie, but she puts a twist on it because she’s evil… She’s got that same ‘America’s Sweetheart’ smile and laugh, but it’s so evil and it’s just the mental mind games and the eye contact and she was so gracious on and off set and we had a great time.”
Lily adds:
“We just had a laugh. In between takes she’d be like, ‘I’m so sorry for being so mean,’ and then we’d start laughing.”
Do you think Lily should have gotten Kristen’s role, or is she perfect for “Mirror, Mirror”?
