Who's the fairest of them all? First look at Phil's beautiful daughter Lily Collins as Snow White
Posted by Baserolo at 7:14 AMIt looks like Lily Collins could be the fairest of them all if you take this exclusive Brothers Grimm: Snow White picture at face value.
However if Phil Collins daughter is to take the title it will be against all odds, as she is starring opposite Hollywood beauty Julia Roberts in the fantasy adventure.
It is being billed as a dark twist on the classic fairy tale, in which Snow White and the seven dwarfs look to reclaim their destroyed kingdom.

However viewers will get to see both sides of the story when they see the Pretty Woman star’s Evil Queen battle to eliminate her pure-hearted nemesis.
No doubt parents will enjoy watching the two sweethearts battle it out in the upcoming movie.
Lily, who is following in her father’s footsteps by going into acting, said: ‘I keep saying to everyone I feel like I’m walking into a snow globe, a fairy tale, every single day.

‘It’s so epic. I was part of a costume ball today, so you can only imagine the outfits.
‘She’s very much that fairy tale princess we’ve all read about in books.
'She’s been modernized in a way that she becomes a fighter in the end.’
The Brothers Grimm: Snow White is being released next March, and is directed by The Fall’s Tarsem Sing.
There is a feeling in the air the movie could be Lily’s breakthrough into the big-time.
This was further bolstered when Game of Thrones star Sean Bean agreed to star as Snow White’s father the king.
It seems his character does not share a groovy kind of love with the Evil Queen however, as she ends up trying to steal the heroic prince of the story away from Snow White.
Lily said: ‘They’re competing for the prince in separate ways.
‘The Queen wants to use him to better herself. I’m seeking his help to gain back my kingdom from the Queen.
‘She has her intentions from the start. I go from seeking his help to falling in love, though obviously there’s something of a spark from the beginning.’
Lily says Julia, 43, portrays the Evil Queen as having a sweet exterior, but with a rotten core, and ends up trying to kill Snow White with a poison apple.
She said: ‘You can’t figure out if you are supposed to like her or hate her. But if you happen to be the victim of it, you really feel it.’
Lily, 22, said she is hoping to show her true colours as her character is, ‘a joyful person who lights up a room and maintains grace at all times.
‘She’s a naive innocent young girl who turns into a woman and really finds herself.’
And though they lead separate lives, it looks like Lily is turning out just like her retired rock star father Phil.
The Genesis star started his career as a child actor, and famously appeared as the Artful Dodger in the London production of Oliver, and was an extra in The Beatle’s move A Hard Day’s Night.
By the time he would next grace the silver screen in the popular 1988 Great Train Robbery film Buster he was an established worldwide music superstar.
However it looks like we will have to wait and wonder before we find out if his daughter's film can claim the spoils as next year’s best fairytale movie.
