Anne Hathaway Cast In Jonathan Demme's Dancing With Sheba

Anne Hathaway is set to play 10-year rehab patient in Jonathan Demme's (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia) next film Dancing with Sheba. The Devil Wears Prada star told Black Film:

"It's a fun premise for a movie actually. Not fun, but it's a dark comedy. I play an ex-model who's been in and out of rehab for 10 years and has just come out of a 8 months stay so she's really serious about it this time, and she arrives home on the weekend of her sister's wedding."

Hathaway also revealed that Debra Winger has been cast in the role of her mother. This will be Demme's first narrative feature film since the badly executed 2004 Manchurian Candidate remake. Sounds interesting. I'm sure Hathaway is capable, and Demme has also made some incredible films. But many people will agree that Demme hasn't made a good film since 1993 (Philadelphia). Shooting begins this fall.
