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.

Director Todd Phillips has shared a new look from "Joker: Folie a Deux," depicting star Joaquin Phoenix in the arms of Gaga.

In the caption, Phillips wished everyone a happy Valentine's Day. It's the first time the film's creators have seen how Lady Gaga looks. According to Variety, Gaga also uploaded the picture to her own Instagram account.

Gaga is reportedly playing a version of the DC Comics character Harley Quinn, a psychiatrist who finds herself smitten with the Joker before taking on his villainous ways. Margot Robbie had previously portrayed Quinn in the "Suicide Squad" films and "Birds of Prey." Kaley Cuoco voices the character on the ongoing HBO Max animated series "Harley Quinn." Gaga announced that she is going to be a part of "Joker" sequel last August. The film has been described as a musical. Phillips' original "Joker" was a critical and commercial hit in 2019, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was a major competitor at the year's Academy Awards, earning 11 nominations. Phoenix won his oscar for best actor and Hildur Gudnadottir for best original score for 'Joker'. The dramatic success of "Joker" quickly spurred speculation regarding a sequel. Although the landscape of DC media has shifted in the years since the original film, Phillips' project has remained largely untouched by the newly formed DC Studios and its co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The "Joker" sequel will not play a role in the narrative continuity of other upcoming DC films, reported Variety.

Warner Bros. will release "Joker: Folie a Deux" in theatres on October 9, 2024 -- five years to the day after the release of the first film.
