Anne Hathaway’s ‘sensitive’ Judy Garland project

Anne Hathaway has explained delays in her Judy Garland film are because of the “sensitive” nature of the project.

She told BBC Radio Four’s Front Row she hoped production would start in the next two years.

The Devil Wears Prada star was first in talks to play Garland in early 2009.

“It’s a very sensitive project and there have been so many stories told about her life that we’re really trying to get it right.

“So we’ve taking our time with it. I know it seems like it’s sort of an endless process but it’s very, very slow incremental steps.

“I had a meeting about it a couple of weeks ago and we’re all very motivated.”

Get happy

Film producer Harvey Weinstein was quoted in 2009 as saying it would be a film and theatre project based on Gerald Clarke’s 2001 book Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.

Hathaway said she will be singing in her role as the legendary star: “I certainly don’t sing like Judy Garland but the talk is to have me do the singing.

“But I think people might cry murder if they don’t get to hear Judy’s beloved voice so the talk is for me to sing but I don’t know if that’s exactly what will happen.”

Hathaway is nominated for a Golden Globe for her latest film Love and Other Drugs which opens in the UK on 29 December 2010.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Trailer Teases Batman’s Suffering, More Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway

The third trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s third and final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, hit the web on Monday night after a day-long viral scavenger hunt campaign, and immediately proved well worth the effort fans put into finding and pasting together the clues necessary to unlock the clip.

Seemingly loosely based on Frank Miller‘s 1986 Batman comic limited series The Dark Knight Returns, the film features a story that takes place eight years after the conclusion of 2008′s The Dark Knight. Christian Bale‘s Batman is seemingly out of commision, or at least very unprepared to face off against the psychotic menace of Bane, played by a Tom Hardy whose voice is much more clear than it was in earlier trailers.

Bane’s warpath brings Gotham to its knees and puts Batman on his (broken) back, though the combination of Commisioner Gordon (Gary Oldman), Alfred (Michael Caine) and John Blake (newcomer to the series, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) believe in his return, even when all seems lost.

The trailer features Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway, who plays Selina Kyle/Catwoman, quite heavily, telling a story of struggle and misplaced trust amid the crippling of a city.

The trailer will be attached to the summer’s other huge superhero film, The Avengers, when it is released this Friday; The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20.
