Anne Hathaway Will Play the Villain of Roald Dahl’s The Witches Remake

to star as the primary antagonist of director Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming remake of Roald Dahl’s classic 1983 children’s fantasy novel. This offer, which would see Hathaway playing The Grand High Witch, will also apparently allow her time to appear in the live-actionis among the darkest and most macabre of Roald Dahl’s children’s novels, revolving around a 7-year-old boy and a few acquaintances who accidentally stumble onto a global network of child-murdering witches.

Hathaway’s role of the Grand High Witch is the most prolific child murderer of them all; a creature of pure evil who we can only imagine she will relish portraying. If this project is indeed “more rooted in the original source material,” asreports, you can expect things to get pretty grim indeed. Certainly, it sounds like this version ofintends to be more faithful to the book than the 1990 adaptation by Nicolas Roeg, which starred Anjelica Huston as The Grand High Witch.
