After Chris Pratt, the next most obvious break out star of 2014 proved to be former Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens. It is quite possible that the country house saga could produce the same with one of the potential stars of 2015. Lily James has appeared on the ITV toffs and servants drama as Lady Rose since 2012, but Brit sprint flick Fast Girls is her only significant movie role thus far. This year, however, sees James taking on two of the most iconic female characters in literary and cinematic history in two very different versions of their stories (not to mention the BBC's big budget mini-series adaptation of War And Peace). First up is Kenneth Branagh's live action Cinderella for Disney. Given the enormous financial success of the studio's previous live action adaptations of their animated back catalogue, the film could be a huge earner with James in the title role of glass slippered princess. She'll follow this with the long delayed Pride And Prejudice And Zombies on which James replaced Natalie Portman as a sword wielding Lizzie Bennett. The book is terrible, but that hasn't stopped audiences eagerly awaiting what a film could do with the bonkers concept.
