According to Variety, Anne Hathaway is in talks to star in The Last Thing He Wanted, the next project for Mudbound director Dee Rees.
Based on Joan Didion’s political thriller novel, The Last Thing He Wanted is described as “a thrilling story of one woman, alone and unrelenting in a race against time” and sees Hathaway as Elena McMahon, a journalist who finds herself on dangerous ground as the Iran Contra Affair’s arms for drugs plot reaches its tipping point.
Oscar-winner Hathaway was last seen in 2016’s Colossal, and has several projects on the horizon including Ocean’s 8, The Hustle, Serenity, Live Fast Die Hot and The Lifeboat. She is also set to portray the iconic children’s doll Barbie in a live-action movie slated for release in 2020.
