Michaela Coel and Anne Hathaway have an exciting new project in the works. A24 will collaborate once again with The Green Knight director David Lowery on his next film, Mother Mary, as reported by Deadline.
Described as an “epic pop melodrama,” the story will follow a fictional musician, portrayed by Hathaway, and her relationship with an iconic fashion designer, played by the I May Destroy You actress.
Turning up the volume on the pop star epic, Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff will write and produce original songs for the film. An original score will be composed by Daniel Hart, who also is responsible for the music in Lowery’s previous A24 projects The Green Knight and A Ghost Story.
Mother Mary will film in Germany. A release date has not yet been announced.
It’s turning out to be a very busy year for Hathaway. Her film Eileen premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in January. She Came to Me just premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival last month. The actress was spotted filming the mid-century chic Mother’s Instinct alongside Jessica Chastain, and will appear in the upcoming features The Idea of You and Bum’s Rush. It was recently announced that Princess Diaries 3 is in the works at Disney, and while Hathaway has yet to seal the deal, she has publicly voiced approval for a reboot in the past.
Recently, Coel starred in Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and is set to star in the forthcoming Mr. & Mrs. Smith series at Amazon alongside co-creator, executive producer and co-star Donald Glover.
