Lily Collins Is Front Runner For Female Lead In "Odd Thomas"

Lily Collins has emerged as the front-runner to play Stormy Llewellyn, the girlfriend of the title character in "Odd Thomas," an adaptation of the Dean Koontz bestseller.

Collins ("The Blind Side") was competing with a shortlist of thesps that included Emma Roberts, Kat Dennings, Portia Doubleday and Addison Timlin.

Collins is the daughter of British musician Phil Collins and his second wife, American-born Jill Tavelman, and the half-sister of actress Joely Collins and musician Simon Collins

I will try to get a confirmation if she has taken this role or not when I attend the press junket for her upcoming film Priest next Saturday at Wonder Con.

The film will be having a panel on Saturday at Wonder Con.

Heres the information on the panel:

3:00-4:00 Screen Gems: Priest— A post-apocalyptic action thriller, set in an alternate world, one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills. Confirmed to appear are stars Paul Bettany and Lily Collins, and director Scott Stewart. Esplanade Ballroom

Anton Yelchin is attached to star in the supernatural thriller, which Stephen Sommers is directing from his own script that's based on Koontz's novel. John Baldecchi and Howard Kaplan are producing through their Fusion Films banner, while Sommers will also produce for the Sommers Co.

Set in a California desert town, story follows Thomas, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities who encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark, threatening forces.

Collins made her feature debut as Sandra Bullock's daughter in "The Blind Side." She next stars in Screen Gems' "Priest," and Lionsgate's Taylor Lautner thriller "Abduction."

Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce.
