Anne Hathaway Becomes Jane…and a Major Hollywood Player

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Miramax, Drama, Period, Romance, Casting, New Releases,

Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen, 24-year-old actress, has come a long way since she gained notice in Disney’s two Princess Diaries flicks.

Now, Hathaway is starring in Becoming Jane, the semi-fictional Jane Austen flick scheduled for release today…but is Anne Hathaway ready to become an A-list star?

There was a point during production when Hathaway seriously considered walking away from Becoming Jane, which is loosely based on the life of novelist Jane Austen. To the delight of moviegoers, Hathaway stuck with the project, though she did have to do a lot of research for the part.
