Cara Delevingne wants to work with Bafta award-winner Adam Deacon.
The 22-year-old model - who has been starring on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week - and Deacon, 31, met last week at a 'Call of Duty' event held in London, and it seems the meeting has ignited Cara's desire to appear in one of the 'Adulthood' star's urban films.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Cara wants to recreate herself and she's hoping to hook up with Adam for a film to help her do it. They met last week and got on really well and she said she would love to collaborate with him.
"Now he's got a part in mind for her. He's been working on a new film script over the last few months and thinks it will do even better than his directorial debut, 'Anuvahood'."
Delevingne was recently cast to appear in the upcoming John Green adaptation 'Paper Towns'.
The model is to play Margo in the new film, the second best-selling Green novel to be turned into a movie following on from 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
The author took to Twitter to confirm the casting news, saying: "Cara Delevigne's audition blew everyone away (including me!) and she understands Margo profoundly. I am so excited!"

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have upset locals on the Maltese island of Gozo, where they have been filming their new movie 'By The Sea'.
The couple's new film - the first they have shot together since 'Mr and Mrs Smith' in 2004 - has led to the closure of a particular part of the island where the diving business is especially prosperous.
Donna Hayler-Montague, who runs Bubbles Diving Centre on the island, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Brad and Angelina started filming in August and originally the Prime Minister said the bays would be closed for a few days. Now they plan to be here until November.
"Our high season is September and October so they've taken over the bays in that season.
"It is quite dramatic for the diving community. We are asking for a compromise. We have offered not to take phones or cameras along."
'By The Sea' is being directed by Angelina, 39, who married Brad, 50, on August 23, 2014 in a private ceremony in Chateau Miraval, France.
The couple have six children, three of whom are adopted -Maddox, Pax and Zahara - and three who are their biological children - Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.

Adam Sandler will star in four movies exclusively for Netflix.
The 'Happy Gilmore' actor - whose latest movie 'Men, Women and Children' was released this week - has signed a deal with the streaming service to both produce and star in the four film which will only be available to view on the website, reports JustJared.
He said in a statement: "When these fine people came to me with an offer to make four movies for them, I immediately said 'yes' for one reason and one reason only... Netflix rhymes with 'wet chicks'. Let the streaming begin!"
And it seems that the company's bosses aren't the only ones in the industry who are keen to collaborate with the star.
Actress Drew Barrymore - who first appeared alongside the comedian in 1998 film 'The Wedding Singer' followed by '50 First Dates' in 2004 and 'Blended' in 2014 - recently revealed she hopes to make another film with the 48-year-old actor in the future.
She explained: "When we did '50 First Dates', I was so confused about love but he was about to marry Jackie [Sandler]. I was like, how do you make a relationship work and stay?
"When we did 'The Wedding Singer', we were such young kids with barely a care in the world, there was that joy.
"So it will be interesting to see what our next film together will be. Parenting teenagers next, I think."

Zach Braff has hit back at criticism of his Kiskstarter project.
The multimillionaire actor and filmmaker - who is best known for playing the character of Dr. John Dorian on US sitcom 'Scrubs' - felt his the response to his use of the crowdfunding platform to support 'Wish I Was Here' was "unfair and uninformed".
Braff, 39, told Screen Daily: "I was completely taken aback by the criticism."
He continued: "I was expecting a conversation because it's a fascinating and new model. But I felt that a lot of the criticism was unfair and uninformed.
"It was frustrating having the debate with people who didn't have all the analytics and facts. I knew that we were driving new people to Kickstarter who then invested in other projects, for example.
"The onus was on me to explain why someone like me couldn't get a film made in the traditional way."
Braff added that he won't be using Kickstarter to fund another of his film projects.
He explained: "This was always meant to be a really fun art experiment."
'Wish I Was Here' was based on a script Zach wrote with his brother Adam Braff and was made after the funding goal of $2 million was reached in just three days.

Warwick Davis wants to be the next James Bond because he thinks the movies are "outdated".
The 44-year-old actor - who is three-and-a-half feet tall - would love to do away with the stereotypes associated with the lead role by playing the titular character in the next motion picture, and admits he has always dreamed of portraying a spy on the big screen.
Speaking at the finale of Britain's Biggest Pub Tour at the final stop of the 614-pub tour at the Slug and Lettuce in London's Tower Bridge, he told BANG Showbiz: "Personally, I think Bond is outdated.
"I'd like to see someone like myself play James Bond. I've always wanted to play a spy.
"When you think of Bond he's a fairly kind of stereotypical cliché kind of guy so let's throw those ideas out the window and have someone unlikely."
Warwick - who portrayed the Ewok Wicket in 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' - joked he would be the ideal star to play Bond because nobody would ever think he was a spy.
He added: "No one would suspect a thing, they're looking out for a certain type of person.
"I like the idea of gadgets and I've always really imagined that Bond was really the frontman but there's really someone like myself who is under the table, behind the potted plant.
"He's doing the real work and Bond is kind of taking all the credit, getting the girl and there's someone like myself who's doing the hard work."
At the event, Warwick presented the Giant Pledge Passport which has toured the country and been signed by every pub manager, to Toby Smith, CEO of Stonegate Pub Company.
A total of £275,000 has been raised for Variety, the Children's Charity through the efforts of all the pubs, their staff and customers on the tour.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' will be the last part of a trilogy that began with 'First Class', according to writer-producer Simon Kinberg.
The 41-year-old explained that the third installment in the series will conclude the storylines that began in Matthew Vaughn's 2011 film.
The London-born writer told Yahoo: "The thrust of [Apocalypse] is really to complete the trilogy we began with 'First Class' - to complete the stories of young Raven, young Hank, younger Charles and Erik.
"And complete this trilogy of four people who began the films in sort of disparate and in different worlds - even if they knew each other, in the case of Charles and Raven.
"We've followed them over what will be the span of decades... So really that'll be the thrust of that film. There will be familiar characters and new characters that we haven't seen... ever... but it'll be the completion of what we began in First Class."
The 'X-Men' trilogy has featured a host of big name actors and actresses, including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.
'X-Men: Apocalypse' is set to debut in UK cinemas on May 19, 2016, and in the US on May 27.
