As BWW previously reported, the film will center on "the owner of a successful fashion website who bonds with the elderly intern her company hires." De Niro will star as the intern.

Hathaway will next be seen on the big screen in Interstellar and Don Peyote, as well as Song One.

Other recent credits include Don Jon, Les Miserables - for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, The Dark Knight Rises, One Day, Love & Other Drugs, Rachel Getting Married and more.

Hathaway appeared onstage in Broadway's Children and Art in 2005, as well as off-Broadway's Carnival! in 2002 and Twelfth Night at Shakespeare in the Park in 2009.
