Sophia Grace Brownlee will not be in the Into the Woods movie after all.
The 10-year-old Brit, who shot to fame in 2011 with a viral video of her and cousin Rosie rapping Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass,” was originally reported to have been cast as Little Red Riding Hood in the upcoming film adaptation of the classic musical.
But now production on the project has started — with another rising young star in the role.
Lilla Crawford, best known for starring in last year’s Broadway revival of Annie, will play Red, “a smart and spunky girl who journeys into the woods, finding unexpected adventures along the way,” Disney announced on Monday.
Crawford will appear alongside such big names as Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt and Anna Kendrick.
It’s not clear why Brownlee no longer has the part.
Filming is now underway in England for a December 25, 2014 release.
