Possible new project for Anne Hathaway playing the bride in a remake of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Can she hiss as shockingly as Elsa Lanchester did in the original version?
When I first read the article, I thought no way Anne as Frankenstein's bride. Then I see the photo posted by LOVE showing Anne all pasty faced and vampiric looking. Well Anne is definitely trying to prove she's a versatile actress if she takes on that project.

New speculation about the upcoming ‘Bride Of Frankenstein’ remake suggests that producer Brian Grazer has starlets Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway at the top of his list to play The Bride. More after the jump.
The NY Post suggests that insiders believe that producer Brian Glazer is eyeing either Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway to reprise the role of Frankenstein’s Bride, first portrayed by the beautiful Elsa Lanchester in 1935.
“She’ll be young. They’re looking for a person with great power and sex appeal” say insiders, according to The Post.
I could perhaps see Scarlett Jo’ as ‘The Bride’, but I’m not sure about Anne. To be honest, I have a hard time visualizing anyone but Elsa in the role, so I wouldn’t be shocked if they are probably quite some time from announcing just who will get the role. It could well end up going to an unknown.
What do you think? Any suggestions or ideas for actresses you could imagine in the role?
“The Illusionist” director Neil Burger will helm the new project. Check out our original story about the remake that we brought you last week, with much more information."
