Lily Collins Archives

Marti Noxon has an impressive TV resume, including as a producer/writer on Buffy, Angel, and UnReal. Now she’s making her directorial feature debut with To The Bone.

It’s an exceedingly personal project, as it’s based on her own experiences battling anorexia. Lily Collins plays the central role of Ellen, a young woman who ‘is dealing with anorexia. She meets an unconventional doctor who challenges her to face her condition and embrace life.’

Keanu Reeves is the doctor.

Following its Sundance debut, Netflix paid $8 million for the movie, and plans to debut it on the streaming service in July. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

rules-dont-apply-slide Martin Scorsese may have felt he created the ultimate Howard Hughes biopic with The Aviator, but Warren Beatty disagrees, as he’s bringing us Rules Don’t Apply. Beatty directs the movie, and also plays the lead role of the eccentric billionaire.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An aspiring young actress (Lily Collins) and her ambitious young driver (Alden Ehrenreich) struggle hopefully with the absurd eccentricities of the wildly unpredictable billionaire (Warren Beatty), who they work for.

‘It’s Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist. Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes’ #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes’ behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.’
