Join Callum, James and Daisy for part two of their exploration of Anne Hathaway’s filmography. Picking up from her early breakthrough roles, they turn to the films that established her as a bold, versatile performer capable of leading major studio productions while taking risks in smaller, more unusual projects. Their conversation considers how Hathaway’s choices have shaped her career and allowed her to move confidently between spectacle, comedy and intimate drama.
Join Callum, James and Anne Hathaway expert Daisy for an in-depth discussion of one of the most versatile and accomplished actresses working today. Together, they examine the qualities that have made Hathaway such a distinctive screen presence, from her ability to move confidently between comedy and drama to the commitment she brings to every performance. With Hathaway appearing in five films this year—including two of the year’s biggest box-office releases, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Odyssey—the timing could not be better for a closer look at her career. The group considers why she continues to stand out, even when the films around her receive mixed or negative reviews, and asks what makes audiences return to her work. Rather than focusing only on awards or commercial success, they explore the range, energy and precision that Hathaway brings to roles of every size.
