The actress was also attached to the sci-fi adaptationRobopocalypsebefore that project was shelved indefinitely.
Since the project doesn’t have a director attached or a studio on board, it isn’t known when this may come together. But, with an A-list star likeAnne Hathawayattached, and a highly-touted Black List script, it could also come together very quickly. Are you excited to see whatAnne Hathawaycan do withThe Shower?
