Our queen Anne is about to dive into a genre that’s as hot as a laptop after a Netflix binge: an AI thriller! And guess who’s directing? None other than her old Bat-buddy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Yes, Catwoman and maybe Robin are back together, but this time, no capes. Unless the AI demands it—who knows?
At a sprightly 42 (seriously, does Anne age, or did she sign some sort of magical skincare contract?), Hathaway is taking the lead in what Deadline describes as a “mysterious” AI thriller. Mysterious, huh? Does that mean robots taking over, or just Siri side-eyeing you for your questionable playlists? Only time will tell.
Joseph is not just directing but co-writing this masterpiece of mystery with Kieran Fitzgerald. If you’re wondering what the movie’s about—so are we. Apparently, it’s locked up tighter than Bruce Wayne’s gadget closet. But here’s what we do know: Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s T-Street Productions are producing, so expect mind-bending twists and probably some cool jackets.
This marks a reunion for Anne and Joseph, who last shared the screen in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Back then, Anne was serving sultry Catwoman realness while Joseph was… well, brooding around as a baby Robin-in-training. Fast forward a decade, and they’re swapping Gotham’s gloom for AI mayhem. Glow-up much?
And let’s not forget Joseph’s directorial chops! His first outing, Don Jon (2013), had him juggling Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, and a whole lot of gym, tan, laundry energy. This AI thriller feels like a solid next step, assuming the robots don’t unionize mid-shoot.
Meanwhile, Anne is booked and busy (duh). She’s got Christopher Nolan’s next brain-melter, a big-screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity, and she’s dusting off her tiara for The Princess Diaries 3. Yes, Genovia’s favorite royal is coming back, and you know what? We’re not ready, but we’re here for it.
Stay tuned for more on this AI thriller—because if there’s one thing we love, it’s Anne Hathaway teaming up with Joseph Gordon-Levitt to make us question our tech choices. Will it be dystopian? Wholesome? Just an hour of Anne roasting ChatGPT? Honestly, all of the above sound like Oscar bait.
