Anne Hathaway’s new rom-com The Idea of You held its world premiere at SXSW on March 16, and the audience response left Hathaway in tears. “I can’t talk,” the choked up star told the audience in a video posted by Variety. “You have no idea the gift that you’ve just given us with your responsiveness, by being so connected to every little nuance in this. I will never forget this screening.”
The film, based on the novel of the same name and directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Eyes of Tammy Faye), sees Hathaway’s character fall in love with a boy band singer played by Nicholas Galitzine after taking her daughter to Coachella. It’s the latest example of cinema’s rich tradition of adapting Harry Styles fan fiction.
