Anne Hathaway Updates on Judy Garland Biopic

The casting of Anne Hathaway in the planned Judy Garland biopic is a stroke of genius.

But since the news of her attachment to the project last year (based off the 2001 book Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland), development has been taking a snail's pace. So what the Hell is taking so long for what could be Hathaway's, seemingly inevitable, Oscar-grab role?

She gives an update status to BBC News:

"It's a very sensitive project and there have been so many stories told about her life that we're really trying to get it right. So we've taking our time with it. I know it seems like it's sort of an endless process but it's very, very slow incremental steps. I had a meeting about it a couple of weeks ago and we're all very motivated."

Also vital is the right director and screenwriter. Neither role of which I can recall has been filled. Even with the pitch-perfect casting of Hathaway, this needs the proper filmmakers to steer it away from the standard-operating procedures this genre typically does. This could be a great movie of one of the great tragic figures in Hollywood history – with the correction people in charge.
