Lily James and 'The Hunger Games' star Sam Claflin are being considered to star in Lone Scherfig's 'Their Finest Hour And A Half.'
The 25-year-old beauty, who's best known for her role as Lady Rose MacClare in the period drama 'Downton Abbey', is Britain's one of the hottest young actresses, who'll also be in Disney's 2015 film 'Cinderella,' Deadline.com reported.
The movie, which is based on Lissa Evans' 2009 novel, would follow a British movie crew, who face mishaps while trying to make a patriotic film to boost morale post the Blitz during World War II.
The film is being adapted by TV writer Gabby Chiappe, and produced by Wild Gaze's Amanda Posey and longtime associate Stephen Wooley through his Number 9 Films, with BBC Films as a partner on the project.
Principal photography for the project would begin in summer 2015.
