Last month we reported the Oscar-nominated True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld was set to play the title role in the upcoming live-action version of Sleeping Beauty. Well, now she can potentially add another legendary character to her burgeoning roster—the young actress is now in talks to play Juliet in an indie adaption of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
In the wake of Red Riding Hood, the plethora of competing Snow White films that have been announced and are competing with one another, the upcoming Oz, The Great and Powerful, the Peter Pan origin film, and Tim Burton’s take on Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent (which takes place from the witch’s point of view), Empire reports that yet another revisionist fairy tale film is set for release—Sleeping Beauty. And with a playing field this loaded it helps to have an ace in the hole, and Sleeping Beauty has a pretty good one: True Grit star and Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld.
Two more actresses have been thrown into the ring for the lead role in The Hunger Games.

According to Deadline, the 14 year old will be aged up a bit to play a 16 year old (gasp) in the drama about, you guessed it, memory loss!
