After a break out performance in True Grit, that earned the young actress an Oscar nod, Hailee Steinfeld has now landed two big roles since playing Mattie Ross in the Coen Brothers hit western.

She will play the princess in a revisionist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty.  The fairy tale will be told from the princess’s perspective with an Inception type plot.  After being tossed into a dream world she will have to discover a way out.

She was cast just last month in the movie Forgotten.  It is a book to film project that features a young girl you loses her memory at exactly 4:33pm every day.

She was also considered for The Hunger Games but lost the role to Jennifer Lawrence.

As long as the young actress stays grounded she will go far in this business.  Even her co-star Jeff Bridges has been singing her praises.

“It was a very difficult role, I think, for any actor at any age,“ he said speaking of her role in True Grit, “she got her tongue around those words, and she made it look easy. But that was a lot of studying and a great work ethic to come up with that. All the skills, or talents, I guess, that actors wish they had, she’s got them in spades.”
