Anne Hathaway is set to star in and produce The Shower, a sci-fi action comedy script that was on 2014’s Blacklist, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.
Hathaway, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Les Miserables, is producing the film with her husband Adam Shulman, along with Jac Schaeffer who wrote the script. The story is said to be a mix of films such as This Is The End and Bridesmaids.
On the project, Hathaway said: “Jac has written an awesome sci-fi comedy centered around funny, fully dimensional female characters….I feel so lucky to be a part of the team that will bring her enormously talented and fresh voice to the big screen.”
“Anne is the perfect actor to anchor a story that is ultimately about female friendship, with a lot of ass-kicking along the way,” adds screenwriter Schaeffer.
Hathaway can next be seen in The Intern, the new comedy from writer/director Nancy Meyers, which sees her co-star with Robert DeNiro. The film is released in the US on September 25th and on October 2nd in the UK.
