[Editor’s note: Anne Hathaway received a SAG-AFTRA waiver to participate in this interview for “She Came to Me.”]
“Oh, gosh, I have been fearing this moment,” Anne Hathaway said. The Oscar-winning actress is referring to being asked about playing a psychiatrist in back-to-back independent films, “Eileen” and “She Came to Me” who — in each feature — lets out a cathartic, instantly iconic scream in pivotal dramatic moments, sure to be excerpted by the internet (and adoring gay fans like this one).
In Rebecca Miller’s eccentric relationship comedy “She Came to Me,” Hathaway plays Dr. Patricia Jessup-Lauddem, a hyper-organized, Ocd-tending New York psychiatrist whose desire to achieve her “most uncluttered space” leads her on the path to becoming a nun. In William Oldroyd’s darker queer noir “Eileen,” she’s the elegant blond-headed prison counselor Rebecca St. John, whose rebellious air allures younger, impressionable secretary Eileen, played by Thomasin McKenzie.

Anne Hathaway and Salma Hayek Pinault are boarding a bullet train for Netflix. The two actors are set to star in and produce a feature adaptation of the novel “Seesaw Monster,” by Kōtarō Isaka, who wrote the novel on which “Bullet Train” was based.
Plot details of the film are under wraps, but Netflix describes the film as an action-comedy that will see Hathaway and Hayek Pinault play rivals forced to work together. The “Seesaw Monster” book was published in Japan in 2019 and has not yet been released in English, so little information about its plot exists online.
News of the project follows the end of the theatrical run for “Bullet Train,” a Sony Pictures adaptation of Isaka’s thriller “Maria Beetle.” The book, the second in the mystery author’s “Hitman” trilogy, focused on a group of assassins attempting to carry out their assignments on the same Japanese bullet train ride.

In the final minutes of Apple TV+’s WeCrashed, the ousted co-founders of WeWork, Adam and Rebekah Neumann (played by Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), appear to have landed on top even after leading their company to a failed IPO. They’re shown jetting off to the Dead Sea, in Israel, for a family vacation — with millions in their pocket. But in an ironic twist, the show actually ends with the couple rubbing salt water out of their eyes after learning that they won’t receive a penny of the payout they thought they were getting to leave the company.

If you’ve listened to a good podcast in the past year, chances are high that a studio is already in talks to adapt it for the screen.
The podcast-to-tv trend kicked into high gear earlier this year with the release of shows like Hulu’s The Dropout, Apple TV+’s WeCrashed, Peacock’s Joe vs. Carole and NBC’s The Thing About Pam — all of which were prestige, limited series based on podcasts of the same name. At the end of 2021, audiences saw Peacock’s Dr. Death and Apple TV+’s The Shrink Next Door.
In some instances, such as with WeCrashed and Dr. Death, the showrunners were given early access to the podcast to see if — and how — they would be interested in adapting the story for TV.
“I was sucked in from the first episode of the podcast,” says Patrick Macmanus,...

In May, Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway dazzled the Croisette as they appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival to promote their roles in James Gray’s critically hailed new film “Armageddon Time.” Two weeks prior, though, they are together in New York discussing their small-screen work. Strong has reached new heights of acting as Kendall Roy, the abandoned and confused scion of a media dynasty, on the third season of HBO’s “Succession.” (He already has an Emmy on the shelf for his work on the series.) Elsewhere in the universe of broken-spirited corporate animals, Hathaway played Rebekah Neumann, first lady of a doomed co-working company, on Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed.” The pair, who first met on the set of the 2019 film “Serenity,” launch right into conversation about shared memories and their mutual passion for the craft.
Jeremy Strong: We’ve never sat down and talked about acting.

When it came to recreating the offices of WeWork, the company that made and lost billions of dollars, production designer Amy Williams was told she could go as big as she possibly could.
The communal office space world is depicted in the Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed,” which comes to an end on Friday. The show charts the rise and fall of founders Adam Neumann, played by Jared Leto, and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann, played by Anne Hathaway.
Williams was excited as a designer to dip into the big, luscious extravagant world. Creators Drew Crevello and Lee Eisenberg mentioned she would have to build the main headquarters set. “I had this idea that I wanted it to be this confusing, M. C. Escher-type staircase [place] that was three stories and confusing,” says Williams. When she pitched it to the showrunners, they loved it. The set ended up being so big, it...

The Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed” tells the true story of Adam Neumann (Jared Leto), his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann (Anne Hathaway), and their rise and fall as the founders of WeWork, a company that made and lost billions of dollars on a new vision of communal office life.
As a show that revolves around questions of how the spaces we live and work in define us, “WeCrashed” offered unique opportunities to production designer Amy Williams, who was initially as intrigued by the offbeat romance scripted by showrunners Lee Eisenberg and Drew Cavello as she was by the architectural potential. “I had had production offices in WeWork spaces and was familiar with the environments, but I didn’t know the backstory,” Williams told IndieWire in a recent interview. “As soon as I started digging into the research I said, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve got to do this, this is wild.’”

The latest in a recent boom of shows about scammers, “WeCrashed” chronicles the unicorn startup company WeWork, co-founded by Adam Neumann and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann back in 2010 in New York (along with Miguel McKelvey).
The Apple TV+ limited series focuses on the rapid and erratic growth of WeWork, a company that leases different office spaces and transforms them into work environments better conducive to work and productivity. The vague mission statement of WeWork is “to elevate the world’s consciousness.
Beneath the company is a chaotic couple, whose energy becomes magnified by Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway in their portrayals of the Neumanns. More famous faces bring other players in the business world to life as well, as exemplified in our complete “WeCrashed” cast and character guide.
