According to Teen Hollywood, the 15-year-old actress is speculated to land the lead role in the follow-up to the classic 1939 film.
Producer Basil Iwanyk said: "It will be set in the present day and feature Dorothy's granddaughter."
Co-producer Todd McFarlane added: "You've still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she's much closer to the Ripley character from Alien than a helpless singing girl."
