Anne Hathaway to Star in Movie "Mother Mary"

Academy-Award winner Anne Hathaway and Black Panther's Michaela Coel are set to lead director David Lowery's latest project "Mother Mary". 

Lowery wrote the script for Mother Mary and he will direct the epic pop melodrama. The movie will feature original songs written and produced by Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX. 

In addition, an original score composed by Daniel Hart will also be featured in the upcoming project. 

Lowery, Toby Halbrooks and James M. Johnston will produce alongside Jeanie Igoe of Homebird Productions and Jonas Katzenstein, Maximilian Leo, and Jonathan Saubach of Cologne-based augenschein Filmproduktion. A24 will helm the global release of the movie.

"Mother Mary" will be filmed in Germany, funded by Film-und Medienstiftung NRW and the DFFF. 

Hathaway will play a musician who falls in love with her fashion designer. She will also be singing in the movie in character.

The upcoming movie isn't the actress' first musical role. She lent her vocals to 2012's musical "Les Miserables", where she played Fantine, a fictional character from Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name as the movie adaptation.

Hathaway is best known for playing Princess Mia in the Princess Diaries movies and as Andy Sachs in the 2006 comedy-drama "The Devil Wears Prada". The actress has also been in "Batman:The Dark Knight Rises", "The Intern", "Rachel Getting Married" and "She Came to Me".
