Rooney Mara is set to star in a biopic of the legendary actress Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming Apple Studios movie.

Oscar-nominated "Call Me by Your Name" director Luca Guadagnino will helm the project, with Mara producing and "The Giver" co-writer Michael Mitnick penning the script.

Hepburn, who died in 1993 at the age of 63 from cancer, appeared in such classic films as "Roman Holiday," "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "My Fair Lady."

She was also known for her influence on fashion as well as her international charity work as a Goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.

Mara has been nominated for an Academy Award twice, for her work in 2011's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and 2015's Carol. She most recently starred in Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley alongside Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette and Willem Dafoe.
