The script is having a rewrite done by Etan Cohen (“Tropic Thunder”). It was originally written by Dyanne Stempel and Jennifer Robinson. In the film, Hathaway handles the role of a woman with a life crisis who cancels her upcoming wedding and drops her fiance so she can try to figure out who she really is. Her parents then try to get the two back together – which makes it impossible for her to move on with her life.The project was first set up at Disney, but was dropped. Gibgot managed to get Hathaway involved in the film which gave it new life with four studios trying to get the rights. WB will likely try to get the film in production after Hathaway reteams with Steve Carell for a “Get Smart” sequel. Hathaway has created a lot of buzz for her role in the Sony Pictures Classics’ film “Rachel Getting Married,” and is currently at work with Tim Burton on his adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland.” Hathaway is set to return to comedy with director Gary Winick’s “Bride Wars” with Kate Hudson. The film is released through Fox 2000.
