Anne Hathaway fights aliens in 'The Shower'

[Foggy]

After her turn as a somber astronaut in Interstellar, Anne Hathaway is going back to the science fiction genre. Only, this latest sci-fi project has a comedy component as well. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hathaway will produce and star in The Shower, which takes place during a baby shower that gets interrupted by a meteor shower. When fallen meteorites begin transforming men into aliens, it’s up to the women of Earth to “fight to save themselves and the entire world.”

The Shower is being described as a combination of This Is The End, Attack The Block, and Bridesmaids—because every movie with female leads must at some point be compared to Bridesmaids. The script by Jac Schaeffer (TiMER) made last year’s Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. Earlier this summer, The Black List hosted a live reading of the script, which featured the likes of Gillian Jacobs, Chelsea Peretti, and Kristen Schaal. There’s a short trailer for the event and a six-page excerpt of the script online for those who want to get a better sense of the film’s tone.

So far there’s no studio or director attached, but according to Hathaway, “Jac has written an awesome sci-fi comedy centered around funny, fully dimensional female characters. I feel so lucky to be a part of the team that will bring her enormously talented and fresh voice to the big screen.”

I will check it out, this will be a nice departure from her recent stellar serious faire and her well intention-ed romcom misses as Hathaway has shown some comedy chops. Looking forward to her pairing with Bobby DeNiro too.

[DanTheMan]

Anne Hathaway. Yes. Very yes.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

So men that turn into Aliens? I wonder if that's a metaphor for anything?

If they turn men into aliens with tentacles ... I've seen enough anime to know where this is going ...

Correctness.

I will watch anything with Anne, even if the movie itself isn't that good. I don't care. She's become my favorite actress (the way that Nicole Kidman was about 10 years ago).

And this sounds like it *could* be funny. Of course, it all depends upon the script. But the idea itself could certainly work.

And Anne. Bring it on!

I know my click bait.

Although, this will always be my proudest achievement.

Yay, another female Ghostbusters.

Oh and YAY!! Anne Hathaway...

[KilloWertz]

Like others have basically said, they had me at Anne Hathaway.

The thread was created by Foggy... Is that really an extra bonus or not?

But will it pass the Bechdel test????

If a woman talks about an alien who used to be a man, is she talking about a man? :P

Well, technically she is in this scenario you've given because it originated as a man. But does it feature two women and do they talk to each other?
