Anne Hathaway Could Star in Barbie Movie

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news yesterday that Anne Hathaway is in talks to star in the upcoming Barbie movie, currently set for a summer 2018 release.

Wait, what?

I was scratching my head, too, because I only vaguely remembered that Amy Schumer was supposed to star in the movie before she dropped out because of scheduling conflicts.

The plot details that were released didn’t make me cringe as much as they probably should have. Schumer was supposed to play, according to the THR article, “a woman that slowly awakens to the fact that she doesn’t fit into the perfect land of Barbies and journeys to the real world, where she discovers that being unique is an asset. ”

Okay, fair enough, an ironic kinda flick. Whether Hathaway is a suitable replacement, I have no clue, but this announcement serves as yet another confirmation that Hollywood will make a movie out of anything as long as it’s already an established property. The Emoji Movie, anyone? No? Yeah.
