AnnE Is About To Become The Queen Of Musicals

Anne Hathaway may be being lined up to play the lead in a new musical movie, after her huge success with 'Les Miserables,' it's been revealed.

According to the Daily Mail, Anne, who is currently favourite to win the 2013 Oscar for 'Best Supporting Actress' for her role in 'Les Mis' is again going to be involved in a musical film.

Hathaway, who played Fantine in Tom Hooper's musical drama, will play an archeologist who returns home from Morocco because her brother has been wounded. Her character will then fall in love with her brother's favorite musician.

The 'Princess Diaries' star will be on familiar ground in this movie, called 'Song One' as it's produced by her husband, Adam Shulman. She will be acting alongside young British musician Johnny Flynn if she does land the role. The screenplay was written by Kate Barker-Froyland, who will also direct the movie.

The Daily Mail also state that Anne may also be being lined up to take the lead part in the 'My Fair Lady' stage show and possibly even on the big screen alongside movie favourite Colin Firth.

And it seems like things just go onwards and upwards for Hathaway, with it being revealed that 'Les Miserables', which is up for an impressive eight Oscars this weekend, is headed back to Broadway for its third run.

Producer Cameron Mackintosh confirmed that the production will be moving on to the famous New York theatre district to the Chicago Tribune, although it will be slightly longer than one day more until it gets there, reaching NYC in March 2014.

Having played over 7,000 times on Broadway, at one point making it the second longest running play in history, we reckon that there won't be many empty chairs nor tables upon its return.

All the stars of the movie will head to the Academy Awards on Sunday, where Anne Hathaway is a shoo-in for Best Supporting Actress due to her role as Fantine, while Hugh Jackman will have a final battle with Daniel Day-Lewis for the Best Actor statue.
