Anne Hathaway is to star as Judy Garland in stage and screen adaptations of Gerald Clarke's biography 'Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland'.
Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman of the Weinstein Company, which has bought the stage and screen rights, said: "We are thrilled to have the brilliantly talented Anne Hathaway portray stage and screen legend Judy Garland.
"I have worked with Anne on projects in the past and have known her for many years. She will be a true class act in this challenging role.
"Gerald Clarke's biography is a fascinating and comprehensive look at Garland's life and is particularly outstanding because of its exclusive details from her own writings.
"Her story is incredible subject matter for both theatre and film and we look forward to bringing it to audiences."
