Britain's Got Talent finalist Asanda Jezile has reportedly auditioned for a lead role in an upcoming Disney movie.
The young singer was invited to try out for the role of Little Red Riding Hood in the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, according to The Sun.
Jezile is said to have auditioned for the part in London on Friday (June 14) and has since received a recall.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall apparently sent an invite to Jezile after seeing her performance on the ITV talent show.
A source said: "Asanda has definite star quality and Rob spotted that straight away. He thinks she might be exactly what they are looking for.
"If she manages to get the part it will be a huge break for her."
