Anne Hathaway to play pop star in David Lowery's 'Mother Mary'

Anne Hathaway is ready to display her musical talents again. The Oscar winner will channel her inner pop star in the upcoming David Lowery-directed movie 'Mother Mary'.

According to Deadline, the A24 production will follow a fictional musician's relationship with an iconic fashion designer, played by Michaela Coel, reported People, a US-based media company. Described as an "epic pop melodrama," the film is also set to feature songs created by Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX, along with an original score composed by Daniel Hart. Ecstatic about the project, Charli XCX shared a photo alongside Antonoff, on Instagram shortly after the announcement and wrote, "jack bout to get mothered." 'Mother Mary' marks the third collaboration between Lowery and A24 after 2017's 'A Ghost Story' and 2021's 'The Green Knight'. He also directed the 2016 Disney film 'Pete's Dragon' and the upcoming 'Peter Pan & Wendy'.

The announcement follows a string of successes for A24 after the release of last year's 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'. The film, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, became the studio's first movie to make over USD100 million at the box office, and it won seven Oscars, including Best Picture. Hathaway sang during her Oscar-winning performance in the 2012 film 'Les Miserables'.

She also recently showed off her vocals while on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' in March 2022.







U2 Songs Of Surrender: 40 songs - 40 creators - 40 stories

21 March, 2023, Mumbai: To mark the occasion the release of Songs Of Surrender, Island Records and Interscope have announced U2SOS40, a one-of-a-kind collaborative project in which 40 artists and creators from around the world were invited to create a 60-second piece of content, each soundtracked by a re-recorded U2 song.

The result is 40 new visual interpretations of U2's music - 40 stories by 40 creatives - to commemorate the release of Songs Of Surrender, a collection of 40 seminal U2 songs from across the band's catalogue re-recorded and re-imagined for 2023.

Artists include Indian-born Tanima Mehrotra who documented her local skate crew in Mexico City who “embody the kind of freedom that comes with youthful curiosity”; Ben Elias, a director and cinematographer from New Zealand whose film is “a walking tour of Aotearoa starring my grandparents”; Alana O’Herlihy, a multidisciplinary photographer, director and mixed media artist who, decided to take the very serious subject matter that Sunday Bloody Sunday is about, and juxtapose it with those coming of age moments for women, and that loss of innocence."; and Yanya Yatsuk, a U.S.-based Ukrainian-born photographer who wanted to “make something that told a story about love”.

Each piece will be shared by the respective creator on their social media channels over the coming weeks, linked by the hashtag #U2SOS40.

A one-hour Zane Lowe interview special on Apple Music and The Edge and Bono's first-ever NPR Tiny Desk performance were both released today in conjunction with Songs Of Surrender. The two also paid a visit to the renowned Maida Vale studios of the BBC last month to perform three songs for Radio 2's Piano Room with the help of musicians from the BBC Concert Orchestra: "Vertigo," "One," and a cover of "SOS."

‘Bono & The Edge: A Sort Of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman will make its Disney+ debut. The movie, which was directed by Academy Award®-winning director Morgan Neville, follows Dave Letterman on his first trip to Dublin, where he meets Bono and The Edge in their hometown, explores Dublin, and performs with the two U2 players in a show unlike any other.
