Anne Hathaway has to be the busiest actress in Hollywood right now. Anne Hathaway's upcoming slate is loaded! We will be seeing her a lot this year. The 43-year-old has at least seven confirmed projects in varying stages of production, with six of them either completed or in the middle of filming.
The first is Mother Mary, from David Lowery, the director of A Ghost Story and Ain't Them Bodies Saints. The second is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The third is The Devil Wears Prada 2. The fourth is Flowervale Street, a science fiction film from director David Robert Mitchell, who is known for It Follows. The fifth is Verity, an adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel. The sixth is Alone at Dawn with Adam Driver, directed by the legendary Ron Howard.
And on Friday, a seventh project was announced: Fear Not, a true crime series based on the Vanity Fair article “True Crime, True Faith: The Serial Killer and the Texas Mom Who Stopped Him,” written by Julie Miller.
Backed by Paramount+, Fear Not is the latest announcement featuring Hathaway. The limited series is based on the Vanity Fair article “True Crime, True Faith: The Serial Killer and the Texas Mom Who Stopped Him,” written by Julie Miller. The project is written by screenwriter Bathsheba "Bash" Doran, who has worked on shows like Boardwalk Empire, Masters of Sex, and also co-wrote the Chris Pine feature Outlaw King. Fear Not has Hathaway as executive producer.
Here's the official Paramount+ logline:
“‘Fear Not’ tells the story of a prolific serial killer, Stephen Morin — accused of more crimes than Ted Bundy — and the unlikely bond he formed with Margy Palm (Hathaway), the last woman he ever kidnapped. Morin’s abduction of Palm, which started as a deadly captive situation, took an unlikely turn: one that included compassion, prayer, and profound courage. Palm’s devotion to her faith and her insistence that Morin could be transformed became the impetus of a relationship that lasted long after Palm was returned to safety — until Morin received the death penalty.”
