Sam Raimi is making the PR rounds for Oz: The Great and Powerful, and seeing as how the second Spider-Man franchise in as many decades is currently filming its first sequel (*sniff* They grow up so fast!), he’s naturally being asked what he would have done if Spider-Man III hadn’t pretty much squished that version of the character with a tissue (at least in the court of public opinion).
Turns out, he would have hired Anne Hathaway.

Disney has reportedly hired Tony-nominated director Alex Timbers to direct a movie musical version of one of William Shakespeare’s plays. Which one, we don’t know. Titus Andronicus? No, probably not. Chopped off body parts aren’t very Disney-ish. And Hamlet‘s been done already (see title image)…

Zach Galifianakis‘ delightfully awkward interview series Between Two Ferns revs up for awards season with this Oscar episode. In it, Galifianakis sits down with Jennifer Lawrence, Naomi Watts, Christoph Waltz, Anne Hathaway, and Amy Adams to discuss pudding, cinematography, and Australian toilets. Oh, and acting.
Watch to the end. Amy Adams, I would like to officially pledge my lifelong allegiance to you. I could not have kept a straight face.

DNA tests have confirmed “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the remains found last year underneath a parking lot in Leicester do in fact belong to Richard III, the notorious hunchback/(possible) nephew-killer and last English king to die in battle. He was also the subject of Shakespeare’s Richard III and, more amusingly (not that Richard III didn’t have its moments), a pair of Kate Beaton history comics.

The Wrap is reporting that Anne Hathaway will be getting her Shakespeare on by starring in an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew.
I request that you all take a short break right now to watch (or re-watch) the fan-made short Gotham High, which places a bunch of Batman characters—including Hathaway’s Catwoman—in high school. It uses the #1 Taming of the Shrew adaptation of my heart, 1999′s 10 Things I Hate About You, for much of its footage.
You done? Good. Let’s continue.

I’ve heard tell of the Les Miserables preview screenings, where members of the movie’s production became puzzled at a soft rustling that spread throughout the audience during I Dreamed a Dream, the song in which the downtrodden Fantine admits her complete hopelessness in the face of fate. They soon realized that rustling sound… is what it sounds like when sixty people all try to conceal the fact that they are weeping at the same time.
Now, I’m a person who I Dreamed it up the last time I went to karaoke, and whose mother sang Bring Him Home as a lullaby, and even I’m becoming less confident that I’ll be able to make it through Les Miserables emotionally aloof. So it doesn’t surprise me that Anne Hathaway, the actress who plays Fantine, has trouble getting through the thing.
