Anne Hathaway to Star in New Movie Based on Harry Styles Fan Fiction

Anne Hathaway is set to star in the upcoming movie The Idea of You, a new film based on the popular book of the same name.

The book, written by Robinne Lee, just so happens to be a popular fan-fiction book that was inspired by Harry Styles and One Direction.

While the book has been reported to be inspired by Styles, the author told Vogue, “This was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles. It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, just at the point that society traditionally writes women off as desirable and viable and whole.”
