Anne Hathaway May Be In For ROBOPOCALYPSE!!
The Kidd here...
Steven Spielberg, giant robots, Chris Hemsworth AND Anne Hathaway...? ROBOPOCALYPSE sure isn't looking too bad as it starts to come together.
Of course, that casting isn't exactly set in stone. Spielberg has only had conversations with Hemsworth about fronting the adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's novel, but it's quite clear that he's his guy if they can make it work.
Hathaway has just joined in early talks to take the female lead of Cherrah, according to The Hollywood Reporter, amidst news that Tom Rothman, the newly departed former head of 20th Century Fox, is coming aboard to produce the film. Rothman has helped bring Fox to the table on the film, which they'll co-distribute with DreamWorks (Disney will handle the domestc, Fox the foreign).
I wasn't always a Hathaway fan, but she's been doing some really strong work over the past few years that you can't help but enjoy her consistently strong performances film in and film out. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES showed she can handle the action side of things. With her dramatic performances never in question, Hathaway would be an interesting addition to the film, as she's never really been in the lead position for a tent pole like this before.

One of the film's highlights. Like many others I was skeptical of her casting, but she gave us a memorable Catwoman. She is definitely moving away from the frothy comedies and digging into more dramatic roles, and maybe that's where she was meant all along. Robopocalypse seems to be shaping up nicely.

..... sorry, had to give it a try.

I don't know why people give her a hard time. Solid talent, and showed she has some live entertainment chops in past Oscars (hosting debacle aside due to Franco trolling America) and musicals. Looking forward to seeing her in Le Mis.
-
I'd like to give her a hard time. Hemsworth too. Heck I'd even give Spielberg a *hard time* if it did to my career what it did to LeBeuf's.

the first one

I don't understand the people who were suprised by Hathaway in TDKR. As if there would be any doubt she would be good.
by albert comin
For me there was never a doubt she would deliver.
-
no more! now that I'm sober you aint that fine
-
People will love her or hate her but she is getting the big female lead roles now and like Roberts she will probably win an Oscar she doesn't really deserve.

It was The Pelican Brief.

And I can't take the name "Robopocalypse" seriously. But the story sounds great.
by kidicarus
-
Like so many others did. I thought she had potential to be good in the role, but took a wait and see approach. With one word ("Oops"), I knew she had it nailed.
-
When the title tells it all...

...is hotter than a summer in the Sahara, though. Meeow!

Terrible title. Imagine saying that handing over your money at the theatre.
by Gary Makin
I'm using a self-service terminal.
-
Nor was it very cinematic. A lesser version of "World War Z" would be a fair comparison. The film makers have their work cut out for them.
-
She's just really average. And certainly attractive looking, but not exactly above and beyond the women one can see on a daily basis. Combine the two and you've got a somewhat indifferent box office draw, if not a flat out forgettable face.
-
Anne Hathaway is amazing and fuck that lumpy bitch she's marrying btw.
-
You forgot to mention her sexy thin body and great titties. Her acting is sub "B" level in my opinion.

I can't wait for the posters for this movie: "From the director of Schindler's List and Lincoln... Robopocalypse!"
by albert comin
They better change the title, specially if the story is actually as good as they say it is. Because the fucking title is godawful beyond compreention.
-
Some books do not translate well to a good adaptation and robopocalypse with its 'lost footage' feel is one of them. I'm assuming anne hathaway plays the woman in the military group that we follow as the primary narrator is part of it - let's forget the fact that she isn't white in the book Yes Hollywood - please whitewash all minorities out of this story for the sake of us all
-
Judgment Day: The Movie. I read a synopsis of it online, and while I'm sure that summary doesn't tell everything that happens in the book, it basically sounds like an entire movie based around the events of Judgment Day in the Terminator films. Not that I'm complaining, just making an observation.
-
that is all.

Good lord, i read a synopsis of the story and... oh darn!!!
by albert comin
Either the book itself is much better then the sypopsis makes it look to be, or this is some serious terrible shit! Fuck, that synopsis was terrible! It looks as smart as Will Smith's "I, Robot", which means, it's completly stupid. The ending of the story reads like a lame version of the ending of Return Of The Jedi, which in self was pretty lame. I still can't believe what i read. Good lord, Spielberg is wasting his time on this? What the fuck happend to him? Was he killed after "Munich" and replaced by a demented identical stranger? Give this shit to JJ Abrams to make instead, it's more his type of thing.

I like Hathaway because she's not afraid to show her boobs. They're great boobs.
by Pat
Can you still have boobs in PG-13? Like in "Just one of the Guys"? Hell, back in the day PG could have boobs ("Airplane"). You could even say "fuck" once in PG ("Big") in the non-sexual context. I would rather take the boobs though. I'm assuming Robopocalypse will be PG-13...just sayin'.
-
they did it in Lakeview Terrace, and I think a couple other movies. but i think boobs are side-boob only

Hathaway was one of the few good things in that miserable shitfest TDKR.

Come on Steve: How about "Interstellar", or that Moses epic with Daniel Day-Lewis...

Not very good, a non-professional writer who is admittedly an expert in the field almost begging to have the material turned into a movie by baldly referencing other AI/robotics tropes.

You forgot to mention that Drew Goddard is writing the screenplay.

tylerzero - Hathaway's face looks like something out of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" video.
by Mosquito March
-
Because Cherrah in the book was Native American. Osage, specifically. It's something of a plot point. Otherwise, the character that I am assuming Chris Hemsworth is playing isn't going to be able to hook up with the army that the Osage are building to fight the robots. Unless that whole section of the plot is dropped, a la World War Z, which the book has more than a passing resemblance to.

Gguys who think there is something wrong with Hathaway's looks...
by albert comin
... either you are trolling or you bat for the other team.
-
...in Love and other Drugs. As far as Robopacolypse, I read it and it wasn't that good. Buuuut, that's okay, maybe it's better that way. Instead of a great book that filmakers adapt and piss people off(no matter how good the movie turns out) because they changed this or left out that, take a mediocre book and just focus on the good elements. Y'know, The Godfather and Jaws were not very good books either.
-
That's the Hitchcock Effect. Alfred Hitchcock once said something to the effect that it's easier to turn a bad book into a good movie then to make a good movie out of a good book. His bad experience making "Rebecca" might have had an influence on this opinion of his.
-
I met her once and chatted briefly at a NYC lounge, oh, almost two years ago. She was there with a handful of female friends, while my friends and I were there to 'pre-game' for the night out to come. It was a regular NYC place, average Joes and Janes, not a velvet-roped-off exclusive celebrity joint. She stuck around, spoke with all of us (I bet she could tell we were goog-ly eyed), though her friends seemed to have their noses about a mile up into the air. She's very pretty in person as well.
-
Thanks for sharing that story. I'm not suprised to know hat Hathaway is nice in person. She never striked me as a phoney, unlike so many other Holywood people. It's also not the first time i heard that the hanger-ons happen to be more stuck up then the real stars. Funny that.
-
I was actually excited about this until I saw he was involved. He greenlit everything at Fox. He just persuing Hathaway because she is the biggest actress of the moment. Rothman just tries to cater to the mainstream and doesn't take risks. Too bad, this could have been interesting.....

Robopocalypse sounds like perfect mix of popcorn dumbfun & Interesting Genre stylistics
by even9
Right time, Right place, Right Director. Gonna be good. Watch after any of the first three Terminator films or Spielberg's three late era previous sci-fi films, A.I., Minority Report, or in some ways, an indirect sequel or third act to War of the Worlds ray gun crazy red fertilizer civilization stood on it's head upheaval... Epic Genreopolaypse on the cards!
-
you're welcome
-
As he enters the latter stage of his career, I'd love to see him make more of these types of big summer blockbuster original stories, full of the awe, wonder, and action that marked his early career. I'm sure Lincoln will be alright, but I yearn for Spielberg's youthful exuberance in films like Jaws, Raiders, and Close Encounters. I'm excited for Robopocalypse. Tintin was a step in the right direction minus the mo-cap.
-
This broad isn't sexy at all. She looks like a boring and uneatable lay. She's nothing to write home and tell mom about. She's too skinny. She looks like a Fraggle Rock puppet, and she can't act to save her life. Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson are Fine, Top Notch pieces of a.s and they can act. I'd suck the fart out of each and every one of their butts. I would drink their bathwater. Anne Hatheway looks is on the same scale as Kristen Dunst.
-
I'm sure they would be very flattered to hear that remark from you...
-
Anne Hathaway.
-
I'd rather see Spielberg make movies that would very different from the ones he made early in his career. He already made those popcorn blockbusters, now it would be time for him to challenge himself and do more "Munich" type movies, not retreats in a pathetic atempt to catch the thunder of youth. Basically, Spielberg needs to move the fuck on!

Lol, only a Failure would put Anne Hayheway and Native American in the same sentence
by BuffDaddy
She's about as Native American as Mitt Romney nuts.
-
What is wrong with you gentlemen? That broad makes Mr. Ed look live Miss Universe.
-
you get the idea - she is not very attractive. Average at best.
-
I respectfully disagree. However, my guess is that Spielberg will meet us halfway and continue to put out a mixture of "popcorn" flicks and "serious" dramas until he retires or dies.
-
Sept. 26, 2012, 8:07 a.m. CST
Hathaway is maybe the only genuinely beautiful < 30 actress working
by menacingphantom
Who else is even close? What the hell happened to casting agents after the Jolie/Theron/Pfeiffer era?
-
Jennifer Lawrence

So we are respectfully disagreeing with each other. This is nice. We should do this more often. You are most certainly right in that Spielbeg will keep with what he has been doing so far, altratig popcorn with "serious" movies. However, i can't help to find that to be a bit cowardly of him. He already has stature he's a legend already, he has name that is unmistakable, the only thing he has to prove is if he ca evolve besides his confort zone. His confortzone has been popcorn commercial movies or sentimentaloid heavy-handed dramas dependent o syruppty sentimentality. "Munich" was a wondeful change of pace from all that, and it looked it was to be an harbringer of interesting things to come. But alas, as of today, it looks more like a fluke in his recent career. Too bad, because "Munich" was the only movie that Spielberg made this last ten years that truly felt exciting to watch a Spielberg movie again. I couldn't be more bored with Spielberg's recent career.
