Since we could all use another dose of models-turn-movies, here’s another little update (kind of) on Lily Cole’s acting endeavors:

We’ve been following the super slow progress of Marilyn Manson’s directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, but somehow missed the first stills of Lily in her bunny-cuddling glory. How? We have no idea (apparently they surfaced a few years ago!?) but since no one we know noticed them, we figured some of you may have missed them, too.

Rumors about this movie have been rampant since 2005 - aka before Evan Rachel Wood morphed into a vampiress - first Lily was Alice, then Wood, then Lily again, and now we know that they will share the role, with Wood as Alice’s alter-ego (way to write in the girlfriend, Manson).

The horror flick will star Manson himself, Tilda Swinton, Evan Rachel Wood, and Lily Cole in the role her doll-face (sorry Gemma) was born to play - but we already knew that.

Now let’s hope it actually gets released sometime before bloomers become totally passé.

Today’s Variety reports the expected news that The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is now on hold.

The film was to star Heath Ledger, though of course now that can’t happen.

His romantic lead in the movie was Lily Cole, and although her scenes were scheduled to be shot soon, there’s a good possibility that now, they won’t be filmed at all.

The news comes on the heels of another odd bit of news from the Lily Cole cinema sphere:

Her highly hyped movie Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, created and co-starring Marilyn Manson, has been moved from “post production” to “pre-production” status on IMDB.

Tilda Swinton will take the role of the Red Queen, originally created for Angelina Jolie.
