In more casting news from Cannes, it looks like Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises) has found her next role in the sci-fi drama Colossal, which is set to be written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes).
Described as “Godzilla meets Lost in Translation“, Colossal will see Hathaway as Gloria, “an ordinary woman who after losing her job and her fiancé, decides to leave her life in New York to move back to her hometown. But when news reports surface that a giant lizard is destroying the city of Tokyo, Gloria gradually comes to realize that she is strangely connected to these far-off events via the power of her mind. In order to prevent further destruction, Gloria needs to determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.”
“Colossal is my most ambitious script so far, and probably also the most personal one. Having Anne and this terrific team around goes beyond my craziest expectations,” Vigalondo said to The Hollywood Reporter.
