Hailee Steinfeld in “Romeo & Juliet”?

Hailee Steinfeld's appearance in "True Grit" earned her Hollywood's respect. Her next role may earn her some controversy. In Julian Fellowes' adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet," Hailee will do a nude scene—unusual, since Hailee is only 14-years-old. The filmmaker says that his only intention in using a young actress is to stay true to Shakespeare's original. "I wanted Hailee because she is the perfect age. Juliet is at that stage of ... what you might call a child/woman. Just like Hailee herself is," said Fellowes. "My version is a romantic story—one that keeps pretty true to Shakespeare but is, I hope, more accessible." [Daily Mail UK]
