Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman wrap up a wild west coast trip
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman packed up their gear and caught a flight out of LAX yesterday afternoon. The couple had been on the West Coast for a few weeks while Anne took care of some movie business and caught up with friends. Anne presented Rachel Zoe with an award on Monday at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center benefit.
The socializing came during a busy period for Anne. In addition to planning her wedding with Adam, she’s also prepping for a new role. Anne will star in Les Miserables as Fantine alongside Hugh Jackman and Amanda Seyfried. The movie is to be directed by Academy Award-winning director Tom Hooper, who was the man behind The King’s Speech. Tom’s in the news today due to the end of his relationship with Tara Subkoff, a NYC-based fashion designer.
“Les Miserables” Originals To Join New Movie Cast
The stars of the original Les Miserables London stage show are set to join Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift and Russell Crowe in director Tom Hooper’s blockbuster movie update.
Colm Wilkinson and Frances Ruffelle, who played Jean Valjean and Eponine onstage at the Barbican in 1985 and later transferred to Broadway, have landed speaking roles in the new film, which starts pre-production next week.
According to the Daily Mail, Wilkinson will play the Bishop of Digne and Ruffelle a whore.
Anne Ruins Catwoman Costume During Fight
Director Christopher Nolan is pushing actress Anne Hathaway to the limits when it comes to her Catwoman fight scenes for The Dark Knight Rises. In trying to capture a series of realistic brawls, the actress has already given one stuntman a serious black eye after pummeling the butt of her gun into his eye socket.
Now, the girl can’t seem to stay in her latex outfit. The IMAX cameras utilized in shooting The Dark Knight Rises don’t allow for much cheating when it comes to throwing a stage punch, which is demanding that the actors get incredibly physical. Anne Hathaway has taken the challenge to heart, throwing herself into these intense action scenes with all of her might. This aggressive behavoir has now seen her tearing out the ass of her Catwoman costume more than once.
It might be easy to make jokes about her weight when first hearing how the new Selina Kyle is tearing through her sexy wardrobe, but the svelte actress has never been in better shape. It is a combination of the materials being used to bring this version of Catwoman to life, mixed with her hyper-physicality, that is actually causing the problem.
An insider who was on set had this to say.
“Anne was filming a very similar fight scene when her costume split right open right on her bottom. She’s putting everything into this role both physically and emotionally and the wardrobe department is paying the price. She must have gone through a dozen costume changes due to throwing herself around.”
Christian Bale and Tom Hardy will be pushed to similar limits when their climactic fight scenes are filmed. Rumor has it that the character Bane will actually break Batman’s spine. If the two actors go at it at the same speed Anne Hathaway has, they better be careful, or someone could get seriously injured.
The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.
Anne Hathaway’s Glee Cameo
Oscar beauty Anne Hathaway has been reported to appear on Glee since December, and her cameo may now be further postponed until the third season.
E! Online’s Brad Falchuk says the Glee team is “trying to make it happen”.
“She’s got a pretty tight schedule,” Falchuk explained. “So we don’t know if it’s going to happen this season.”
In a character created by Hathaway herself, she will play Chris Colfer’s aunt, and will be a lesbian in the role. So for at least one episode, the show will actually have some straight men tuning in.
Ryan Murphy previously said of Hathaway’s cameo: “We love her.”
Who doesn’t? We can’t wait to see Hathaway Gleek out!
Anne Confirms She’ll Play Catwoman, Not Just Selina Kyle
Although we’ve known since mid-January that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, there remained some question as to whether we’ll see the character’s alter ego in director Christopher Nolan’s film. After all, the Warner Bros. press release didn’t mention the word “Catwoman.”
But in an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s post-Oscar special , the actress seemed to confirm she’ll don the catsuit in the Warner Bros. movie. She said “Catwoman,” in any case — twice.
Giving Winfrey “the real story” about being asked to co-host this year’s Academy Awards ceremony, Hathaway said, “So the real story is, I was waiting to hear if I’d been cast as Catwoman. And my manager called me, and said ‘Are you sitting down?’ And I just go, ‘Oh, my God, here it comes.’ And she says ‘You’re about to hear something you will never hear again in your whole life.’ I’m like, ‘Okay.’ And she goes, ‘You’ve been asked to host the Oscars.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m Catwoman! … What? … Oh. Oh. Okay. What?’”
Hathaway will star opposite Academy Award winner Christian Bale and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises, which begins filming in April. We’re still awaiting confirmation on Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film opens on July 20, 2012.
Celebrities are standing up to spread the message of hope for those who had been victimized by peer bullying. Anne Hathaway, and Neil Patrick Harris are among Hollywood‘s high-profile celebrities who recently spoke on peer bullying.
Hollywood‘s action came after a rise in reported suicide among young people strongly linked to peer bullying. The latest victim being Rutgers student Tyler Clementi whose death highlighted the extent of bullying at school.
Clementi killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge over Hudson after two Rutgers students recorded and broadcasted Clementi’s sexual activities.
Last week, Project Runway Tim Gunn confessed that he himself had attempted suicide in his teens in a public service announcement (PSA) “It Gets Better Project.” For the full story, read it here.
Other celebrities who joined the campaign against peer bullying are Jenny McCarthy, Michael Chiklis, Julie Bowen, Ian Somerhalder, and Kristin Cavallari. They are featured in a new PSA for the Trevor Project, a suicide awareness group mainly directed at the gay community.
Watch the PSA now available in YouTube here.
