Actor Anne Hathaway is in negotiations to star in "The Last Thing He Wanted", a big-screen adaptation of Joan Didions 1996 political thriller. "Mudbound" director Dee Rees has been roped in to helm the project, reported Entertainment Weekly. If things get finalised, the Oscar-winning actor would play Elena McMahon, a hardscrabble journalist who gets embroiled in the dangerous world of arms dealing. The project is currently under pre-production.

Hathaway will next be seen in "Oceans 8", alongside Sandra Bullock, Rihanna, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Mindy Kaling.
