I heard she truned down "Knocked Up" because she couldn't handle the graphic birthing scene. That would have made that deleated BBM scene on youtube even funnnier "I don't wanna see Anne Hathaway's tits"
Kd5000:
Yep, it's taking THE HOURS one step forward. Another movie where life entertains "art," Jane Austen literature.
Didn't know about the A. Hathaway birthing scene in BBM. Imagine Jack being cool as a cucumber while his wife is having a baby. ;)

I have to admit that when I saw this thread, I thought I read "Jane Hathaway". :)
Anyone remember her?

I think you mean Evening not Becoming Jane. Evening is based on a novel by Susan Minot. But is not related to The Hours beyond the fact that the author of The Hours, Michael Cunningham, joined with the author of Evening , Susan Minot to write this screen play.
The Hours is about women dealing with suicide. Evening is about the love which binds mother and daughter -- seen through the prism of one mother's life as it crests with optimism, navigates a turning point, and ebbs to its close. Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance, a content wife and mother, and Nina, a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this "Harris," wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann's life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years before, when she was Ann Grant, a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid of honor rather than her own mother for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.
Becoming Jane is a biographical portrait of 19th century author Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman.

I just saw previews for Becoming Jane on TV last night. Dreadful title, but it could be interesting, and Anne Hathaway's presence couldn't help but pique my curiosity. Certainly, Austen's thwarted love for Tom Lefroy is a true story as melancholy in its way as the fictional one involving Ennis and Jack.
