Hilary Swank is reportedly taking flight lesson to fit the role of Amelia Earhart in the movie biopic. "The producers wanted her to take a few flight lessons just so she'd look comfortable behind the wheel of the plane for the film. But you know Hilary, she doesn't do anything halfway. She's decided to go ahead and just get a license," E online reports. However, the actress’s rep didn’t confirm the report, but claimed, “Hilary is in heavy preproduction. She is preparing for her role as Amelia Earhart."

Hilary Swank was spotted sporting a new hairdo and color in Brentwood on March 30. The actress, who  has been enjoying a light agenda lately , is  now ready to return to the set of bio-drama Amelia. The movie is currently in a pre-production stage and  will be filmed in UK, Hawaii and Canada with a  2009 release date.

Hilary Swank is rumored to replace Lindsay Lohan as the face of Jill Stuart’s fashion collection. It is said that the New York designer has changed her original model after Lindsay’s behavior over the last year, claiming she thought in Swank for her high-estimated image. An insider close to Jill said, “Jill wanted to go for a celebrity to make her fashion line more high profile. But after everything Lindsay has been through over the last year, she doesn''t feel it would be right for her to represent the line. "She thinks Hilary Swank would be the ideal choice because she is that little bit older, and incredibly well respected in the acting industry."
