After a busy 2019 in which he starred in Dark Waters, The Hustle, the unfortunate Serenity, and Amazon’s Modern Love, Anne Hathaway is making sure 2020 is just as packed. THR reports Hathaway will star in StudioCanal’s adaptation of French Children Don’t Throw Food, which I desperately hope will get a title change.
The film is based on Pamela Drunkerman’s autobiography (also titled Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting) about an American journalist who moves to Paris for her husband’s job, and attempts to find the right work/life balance. In the process, she studies a French parenting culture that seems to have raising kids all figured out.
Jamie Minoprio and Jonathan Stern wrote the most recent script, but who knows if that will change once a director is found. This is pretty early on in development, however, and with few projects going anywhere right now it may be a while before we hear more.
This year Hathaway has already been seen in Dee Rees’ The Last Thing He Wanted, and has Roald Dahl adaptation The Witches coming up.
