Anne Hathaway convinced she'll disappoint people in new role
|

Anne Hathaway is scared of the public reaction to her playing Jane Austen in a new biopic about the author. Anne doesn’t believe she’s elegant or refined enough to play the English writer in Becoming Jane : "I’m even horrified that I’m playing Jane Austen! I’m like, ’Really? Me? Kate… |

Though it would have been more ideal for a British actress to play the part, I feel that Anne Hathaway has the spark needed to play the role.

I wish her the best of luck!

While I think Anne Hathaway is lovely and have enjoyed her performances, I really don’t think she is right to play Jane Austen. But then, we have to remember the brooha when Renee Z was cast as Bridget Jones and look how great she turned out to be. So let’s wait and see what happens shall we. Besides, with Ang Lee involved, the chances of it being dreadful are pretty slim.

As Jane Austen had no children, I don’t understand how Anna Chandler can be her direct descendent.

I agree. We must wait and give Anne Hathaway the benfit of the doubt. Kate Winslet would have been perfect but I ‘m sure If Anne is a fan then she will do her best to do justice to the role. I disagree with Anna Chancelor’s comment that Jane Austen was plain. Any one can see from her simple portrait that she was pretty.

She matches the ‘guesswork portrait’ on display at Bath. I do not see how Kate Winslet could have answered the description. Anyway, she’s an actress, isn’t she? So she ought to be able to work out a character. And, liking Jane Austen, she’ll probably do it with due application.

Hi, Maria
How interesting that you did your thesis on Jane! Can you share something about it? Would you perhaps be willing to share an excerpt of your work on the Austen List? (A web group interested in all things Jane, of course.) I’d be very happy to hear from you, but as I don’t publish my email, please visit me on the web, and click my email link from any webpage. Thanks much, and I hope to hear from you.
