Shooting is set to begin next spring, but the famous roles of Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett are yet to be cast.

Directing the film will be Tristram Shapiro, who is responsible for TV hits including Green Wing, Peep Show and Brass Eye.

Lily, 22, comes from a family of actors - dad Keith is a TV stalwart, and younger brother Alfie has appeared in a Casualty spin-off.


Lily looking for a new man? - Sep 6 2007
Lily Allen has apparently dumped her boyfriend Seb Chew, and is on the hunt for a new man.

The Smile singer says she broke up with Seb, a record company executive, last month.

She told the Sun: "Seb and I aren’t together any more. I split with him a month ago so I’m single now. I always think that no-one is going to fancy me. Part of the reason I came out tonight [to the GQ Awards] is because I’m back on the market and I need to get in practice. I don’t know if I can pull any more."

The couple were together for two and a half years.

And the 22-year-old added that she was happy to be back in London - she recently had her US visa revoked.

She said: "I’m not really bothered about the visa thing. I’m enjoying being back in London. I just hope I can find a new boyfriend."
Lily Allen was arrested for allegedly attacking a photographer outside a nightclub.

The Smile singer attended a police station in central London by appointment yesterday.

The pop star was released on police bail after being questioned over an alleged assault on a male photographer in his 40s near the Wardour club in London’s Soho on March 13.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "At 9.30am yesterday, a 21-year-old woman attended a central London police station by appointment.

"She was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. She has been bailed to return on a date in late July."

Chart-topper Lily built up a huge following via her MySpace page before releasing her debut single, Smile, which topped the chart last July.

The star, who is the daughter of actor Keith Allen, recently postponed her US tour, saying she wanted to get back into the recording studio.


Lily plans retirement? - June 27 2007
Lily Allen has only been in the pop world a year, but it seems she’s already planning her retirement.

The 22-year-old Smile singer, the daughter of actor Keith Allen, says she wants to have a second childhood after feeling she missed out as a kid, reports the Daily Express.

"What I’m going to do is work really hard, trying to make as much money as I can, then retire when I’m 30 and have my childhood," she said.

The star added: "I missed out on my childhood and never felt like a kid. I never had friends when I was a kid, never had toys or played with stuff. But I’m going to stop moaning about that and just work hard on my plan."

And Lil’s already decided what her top games will be.

"I’ll just sit in the country, ride quad bikes all day and have my own paintball course," she said.
