Anne Hathaway To Play A "Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga" Type Character In What Will Surely Become My Favorite Movie Of All Time

Via Vogue.com - Hathaway and Antonoff are spending this first balmy spring Saturday tucked away at a Manhattan studio because they are in the final stages of transforming famously plucky Anne Hathaway, movie star with a megawatt smile, into a moody pop diva. She’s dropped her two sons off at Little League and come here in low-glam mode (Knicks jersey, jeans) to record songs for David Lowery’s upcoming film Mother Mary, in which Hathaway plays the title character—a sort of Gaga–Taylor Swift hybrid who is, uh, having a moment. 

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO. I don't want to copy paste too much of the article (which is well worth the read) but "Anne Hathaway playing a moody pop star combo of Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga" is enough to get me to sign my name in blood on the contract of this becoming my future favorite movie. I'm a 1A Swiftie, 1B Little Monster, 1C HATHAWAY STAN so it almost feels like this was created in a lab for me, and all of the others like me. 

There will be original songs written by Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX, and the line that tells me we'll be getting Oscar buzz is this: "“If I got the part, I would have to become material David could craft with.” In essence, she had to make herself into a credible global pop star." METHOD ANNE? REAL POPSTAR ENERGY!!!! It also goes on to explain that it'll be a "darker" story which, again, I couldn't be more seated. 

I also love the fact that Anne was tapped for this - she's emotional enough, talented enough and passionate enough to make sure this job gets done. I'm glad they didn't go with a nobody, or worse, and actual pop star - I want to see someone immerse themselves so deeply that it blows the lid off the joint. Anne is the woman to do it.
