Film stars like Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Rachel McAdams joined the cast of True Detective; which shows actors who wouldn’t otherwise commit to television, commit to a limited series. She is in a league all her own and we cannot think of anyone who can better portray Steil’s complex heroine’.
Upcoming work for Hathaway includes the film The Intern coming to theaters September 25. Mark Gordon (Criminal Minds) is producing the project, which is not yet attached to a network.
When bohemian artist Miranda falls in love with Finn, the British ambassador to an Arab country, she finds herself thrust into a life for which she has no preparation.
