Hathaway is Knocked Up; 'Visiting' visits 2007

In addition to starring in a Best Picture nominee, a film with Meryl Streep due out in the summer and an upcoming biopic of Jane Austen, Anne Hathaway will find time in her busy schedule to get Knocked Up. Hathaway has joined the cast of the newest film from Judd Apatow, the writer and director of last summer's blockbuster The 40 Year Old Virgin. Knocked Up is a romantic comedy about a man who impregnates his one night stand. Sounds a bit like the Matthew Perry-Salma Hayek film Fools Rush In. Hathaway joins Virgin alums Paul Rudd, Seth Roger and the hilarious Leslie Mann. Filming begins in the early summer.


The Visiting, that non-remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, has officially been bumped back to 2007. Warner Bros. will be placing the Hilary Swank horror film The Reaping in the film's old release date of August 11th. It is rumored that Warner wants to take heavy advantage of the fact that Visiting's costar Daniel Craig is the new James Bond. With that film being bumped back to 2007, that means a new slot is available on my most anticipated films of 2006. I officially appoint Hathaway's The Devil Wears Prada in that slot. :-)
