Anne Hathaway, an actress who has made it well-known that she is unhappy with the roles shaping her image has taken yet another formulaic chick-lit adaptation, in the form of “The Opposite of Love.” Which is odd way to change one’s image, since she is still known as the lead in such soft-edged movies like “Princess Dairies” and “The Devil Wears Prada” (also a chick-lit adaptation), but we had high hopes for her to change that with her role as a recovering drug addict in Jonathan Demme’s upcoming family drama, “Rachel Getting Married.”
Apparently she just couldn’t step away from what has made her famous, since according to Variety she has signed on to star in “The Opposite of Love,” in which Hathaway will play a career obsessed budding attorney who due to a fear of commitment turns down a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, only to find her life falling apart. Hmm it all sounds so familiar, didn’t we already see this with a few variations in “The Devil Wears Prada.”
