Lily Collins in scooping up some coveted roles.

The 22 year-old actress has been cast as Snow White in Relativity Media’s film The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. The part was reported to have Saoirse Ronan as the actress who would get the offer, however Collins has snapped up the hot part.

Collins has also been offered the role of Stormy Llewellyn in Odd Thomas. That role was initially said to have Emma Roberts circling, but again, Collins has nabbed the offer.

Not only is the actress cast in these two films, she was cast as Clary Fray for The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones movie. This was announced in December of 2010 but no further casting developments have come since then.

Collins must be doing something right!

Two of the hottest actresses under 25 may be making their marks on an iconic fairytale character for movie screens.

Saoirse Ronan is in talks to take on the role for the film The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, which has just signed 24 year-old Armie Hammer from The Social Network, for a part. This version is from Relativity Media.

Kristen Stewart is going to be the lead in the Universal film Snow White and The Huntsman with Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen. Viggo Mortensen, who was in negotiations for the huntsman role is no longer attached as his deal just fell through.

Each script will have a different spin on the original tale, with The Brothers Grimm staying a little closer to the original, perhaps.

Neither Ronan or Stewart would likely take on a movie where Snow is helpless (in fact, in The Huntsman version, Snow White is trained to fight by the man who should have killed her,) so expect both of these versions to have strong female characters.

Both films are due in 2012 – The Brothers Grimm in June and The Huntsman out December.

So let me ask you would you go to either film just because of Stewart or Ronan? Having two Snow White movies in one year – even if they are different – is that too much?

Since we know Hollywood will milk this trend – what’s the next fairy tale you would like adapted?

What do you think?

Saoirse Ronan is a trained killing machine in the April movie release Hanna. The movie poster has the simple tagline of Adapt Or Die.

Hanna is about a little girl who is raised by her father (Eric Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the woods of Findland.  Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) has been trained to be a brutal and ruthless killing machine.  When she is old enough, her father leaves her alone to complete a mission by herself.  She travels across Europe, but must elude intelligence agent with secrets of her own (Cate Blanchett).

This will be Ronan’s first of two teen girl assassins, the second one come up later in the year when Violet and Daisy hits theaters. Hanna is also Ronan’s second go-round with director Joe Wright. He helmed the 2007 Academy Award film Atonement.

Saoirse Ronan attended the premiere of The Way Back held at the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris along with costars Colin Farrell, Ed Harris and Jim Sturgess.

The film, a true story about a rag-tag group of escaped prisoners who trek 4,000 miles to reach freedom, had the actors in many different outdoor climates (including filming in the desert, Siberian and mountain settings as well) to portray the long, arduous journey the escapees undertook. On the London premiere red carpet, Ronan and costars were asked what was the hardest thing they had to endure while filming.

Saoirse said “It was tough sometimes to be in such a warm climate,” referring to their time in Morocco, but everyone got along well and there really weren’t problems otherwise.

Check out the video interview below and a few photos of Saorise as she heads inside for her interview on RTE television in Dublin this weekend.

Saoirse Ronan walked the red carpet for the London premiere of her film The Way Back earlier this week. The 16 year-old Irish star posed for photos (some with costar Colin Farrell,) at the Curzon Mayfair Cinemas.

Ronan received praise from her other costar, veteran actor Ed Harris who said:

“She was so present in a cool way and really mysterious. I loved working with her. She was just 16 when we made it, I think, a little bit older than my daughter. She had a wonderful work ethic, really friendly, always in good spirits, charming, pretty. I felt a little bit protective of her, though she didn’t really need that. We had a really nice thing. I loved just being totally simple and honest with her. She’s living and breathing in the moment and you’re able to just experience that with her.”

The Way Back is based on the memoirs of a man who escaped a Siberian gulag with other prisoners and they walked 4000 miles to their freedom in India. The film gets released in Los Angeles on December 29th (presumably to qualify for Oscars) and then goes to more theaters January 2011.

Saoirse Ronan landed on the cover of Irish Magazine U and she looks fierce! The talented Ronan has come under some scrutiny lately (similiar to Chloe Moretz) for being so young and taking on very adult roles. Ronan is playing killers/assassins in her next films: Hannah (to start filming next year) and Violet and Daisy currently filming. (In my opinion, both Moretz and Ronan seem well-adjusted away from Hollywood trappings so they should continue taking these parts and challenging perceptions.)

The teenage actress has her professional plate full – with tons of new movies in the pipeline. She is so sought after, Moviefone named her one of their 25 Under 25 stars to watch for the coming year:

Age: 16

What She’s Done: The Irish-born actress received Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for her performance in ‘Atonement’; starred in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of ‘The Lovely Bones.’

What’s Next: She’ll star in the WWII prison drama ‘The Way Back,’ re-team with her ‘Atonement’ director for the action-thriller ‘Hannah,’ and bring the young adult novel ‘The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle’ to the big-screen as the title character.

Did You Know? Ronan got her start working on prime-time medical dramas in her native Ireland.

The actress’ latest film, The Way Back is due in limited release on December 29th (see the trailer here.)

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan, who is best known for her roles in “Atonement” and “The Lovely Bones”, wore a beautiful white strapless dress with a cute belt on the red carpet of the 2010 BAFTA Awards held at the Royal Opera House in London, England on Sunday (February 21).

Can you believe Saoirse is only 15 years old and was already nominated for a BAFTA for Best Actress In a Leading Role? Just absolutely amazing! Saoirse did not win this year but she has a lot more to show with three movie roles to come in the next year or so.
