I wonder what the dirt is on the change.

I still think that Lilla may be a tad young after I so enjoyed Sarah Stiles last summer in the role, but I certainly prefer this news to Sophia Grace as previously announced.

THANK YOU, CASTING GOD. WE HAVE AVOIDED ANOTHER TAYLOR SWIFT! I knew they couldn't be this stupid! Lilla is too young, but A LOT BETTER than Sophia! And I called it too

This is the Eponine situation with Taylor Swift and Samantha Barks all over again. Anyway, I'm happy for Lilla. She's a much better choice.

Wow, would love to hear the backstory. Now this is casting that makes sense, none of that Sophia Grace nonsense.

Why do I feel like Abigail Breslin (on the proviso that she could sing) would be the perfect age for Little Red

I'm nevertheless excited, since Sophia Grace sounded like a publicity stunt from the get-go.

I think it's great news. Good for her...and she is a much better choice for the role...no offense to Sophia Grace.

isn't Little Red supposed to be at least somewhat chubby? Considering the fact that much of the first act involves her eating.

Abigail Breslin already looks too mature for the role. At this point, she could very well be Rapunzel or Cinderella

Very glad that Lilla was confirmed as Little Red.

Better Crawford than Sophia Grace. Eugh. I got through 7 seconds of her wretched video before I projectile vomited all over my newly re-tiled bathroom.

The movie's been in rehearsal for over a month and just started filming this week. My guess is that they weren't happy with what they were seeing from Sophia Grace in rehearsal and have now moved forward and replaced her heading into the shoot.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Well...the Wolf does call her 'Miss Plump,' so one could read that as the character being on the...well...plumper side. But the role has been played by actresses of varying sizes.

I don't get the accent comments. Lilla has no real accent - she is from LA. She was directed to use the NY accent she did at Annie. Why would she use another accent unless directed to do so?

Yeah, I don't get the accent thing, it's clearly a put on accent that she was obligated to have during ANNIE. If you see the documentary about the show, all the girls were made to use that accent, and from the looks of it, the people involved were making a terrible job at getting through the girls. The production was uninspired, not Lilla. I do wish the actors were not asked to do a British accent, but they only cast a couple Americans in it, so I imagine they will. Accent or not, Lilla will be great as Little Red.
