Anne Hathaway Confirmed For Steven Spielberg's ROBOPOCALYPSE

Empire has word from Anne Hathaway (Dark Knight Rises) that if the film moves forward she'll have a role in Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse. The film was written by Drew Goddard (Cabin In The Woods, Cloverfield) and is based on the novel by Daniel H. Wilson. Chris Hemsworth (Avengers) has already been cast in the male lead with Ben Whishaw (Skyfall) in talks for another role.

"If 'Robopocalypse' happens I will be in it and I believe it’s quite real, though you never want to hang your hat on anything."

Alex Proyas Attached To Direct Sci-Fi Action Flick AMPED

HeatVision reports that Daniel H. Wilson will have another of his sci-fi novels adapted into a film. The novel Amped has been picked up by Working Title with Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) attached to direct. Wilson's other novel Robopocalypse has been turned into a feature with Steven Spielberg directing with Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway starring. Proyas had previously tapped to direct a large scale epic titled Paradise Lost based on the fall of Lucifer.

Set in the near future, Amped imagines a world where nanotech-enhanced people and ordinary humans are at war with one another.
