Soon-to-be 'it' girl Felicity Jones has reportedly been cast as the female lead in Warren Beatty's upcoming film about Howard Hughes.
Jones will play a young woman who ultimately falls in love with Hughes (played by writer/director Beatty), the late, notoriously wealthy and reclusive tycoon.
Jones is becoming one of Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming talents, following her critically acclaimed breakout in the recently released drama Like Crazy.
Beatty's longtime wife, Annette Bening, and friend, Jack Nicholson, are also said to be in consideration roles in the untitled film. Ditto Owen Wilson and Alec Baldwin.
