Rita Ora is set to make her movie debut - in a film role initially turned down by Rihanna.
Ora has reportedly been cast in The Fast And The Furioius 6 alongside Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - in a role previously touted as Rihanna's next film project. Tabloid sources claim that Rihanna had planned to star in the high octane sequel, but her busy schedule was too packed to accomodate filming requirements.
"Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship," says a source to The Sun newspaper. "But schedules didn't work out and Rita really shone during castings. They loved her look and her attitude."
Rihanna made her big screen debut in 2012 in the critically mauled Battleship - so may be hoping to make wiser choices of movie roles in the future.

The sixth movie is set in Europe - which would lend itself perfectly to the casting of a UK actress.
Ora has previously spoken of her interest in a movie career, but insisted music was her current focus. She also named Tom Hardy as her leading man of choice.
