The Witches, being directed by Robert Zemeckis, is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic book of the same name.
The project is produced by Oscar-winning directors Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro.
The book follows a boy who stumbles upon a coven of child-hating witches he must stop, even though he has been turned into a mouse.
Hathaway, 36, is playing the role of Grand Witch in the film, which also feature Chris Rock, Stanley Tucci, and Octavia Spencer.
The book was previously adapted by the Warner Bros into a 1990 film, starring Anjelica Huston as Grand Witch.
