Anne Hathaway In Talks For Female Lead In Spielberg’s ‘Robopocalypse’

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises) is in negotiations for the female lead in Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse. She may be joining Chris Hemsworth (Thor), who has been previously reported as being in talks for the male lead in the film. The film is based on the book by Daniel H. Wilson.

Tom Rothman, who will be departing from his post as chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment will be producing the film. DreamWorks has been developing the property since 2009, when it acquired rights to Wilson’s then-unpublished manuscript about the fate of the human race following a robot uprising. Robopocalypse is currently set to hit theaters on April 24, 2014.
