But it has now been revealed that Rita Ora has been cast for the part over the Diamonds singer.

Rita, who celebrates her 22nd birthday Monday, apparently impressed during castings outshining the 24-year-old Rihanna.

A source told the newspaper: ‘Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship. But schedules didn’t work out and Rita really shone during castings.

The Hot Right Now singer, who has previous acting experience proved to be a big hit with the filmmakers, as the source added: ‘They loved her look and her attitude.’
