Anne Hathaway revealed that she stopped getting pitched romantic scripts as she neared her 40s before being offered ‘The Idea of You’
Anne Hathaway’s name is synonymous with early ’00s rom-coms, but the actress stopped getting pitched romantic scripts as she neared her 40s — until The Idea of You came along.
While Hathaway said that she was “honored” to receive an offer to play the part, she admitted that it caused her to wonder, “Where have all these stories gone?” “Without me even designing it or any of us designing it, it became so personal to me,” she shared. “And then the way it came together with Michael Showalter … and then when the cast came together, it was, like, game over. I could go on and on about it.”Idea of You producer Cathy Schulman led the charge in making sure it was Hathaway who brought Soléne to life. According to her, the development team crafted the entire project around Hathaway before the actress even had a chance to accept.
“I believed that Annie would be able to bring that aspect to Len's character,” Schulman added, “and she really did.”Much of what makes The Idea of You so special is the story of a woman over 40 finding her happiness, but another main component is the chemistry between Soléne and Hayes. Those fireworks are something Galitzine said came naturally for the duo, who formed an almost “immediate” connection.
