PanARMENIAN.Net - Anne Hathaway has been cast to headline a monster movie "Colossal", AceShowbiz reports citing The Hollywood Reporter. Described as "Godzilla" meets "Being John Malkovich", the new feature film is directed and written by Nacho Vigalondo ("Timecrimes").

The actress will play Gloria who, after losing her job and her fiance, decides to leave her life in New York to move back to her hometown.

In order to prevent further destruction, Gloria needs to determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.
