Anne Hathaway, Chris Hemsworth to star in Spielberg’s "Robopocalypse"?

Anne Hathaway could end up sharing screen with Chris Hemsworth in a Steven Spielberg movie. The Catwoman of "The Dark Knight Rises" is reportedly in talks to tackle the female lead role in Spielberg's long-gestating sci-fier "Robopocalypse", which also eyes the "Thor" actor as the male lead, AceShowbiz said.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Hathaway's discussions are still in early stage. Hemsworth, meanwhile, has been courted to join the project since July. Details of what characters Hathaway and Hemsworth will play are still scarce for now.

While the film is still on its way to nab its lead actors, it has already found its producer. Tom Rothman, who recently grabbed the headline after deciding to step down from his position as 20th Century Fox CEO, has officially signed on to produce the upcoming book-adapted movie.

An adaptation of Danuel H. Wilson's book, "Robopocalypse" focuses on an artificial intelligence known as Archos who goes online and takes over a network of machines that humans use. He starts a rebellion and the human race must find a way to survive the Robot War.

Walt Disney Pictures will handle the domestic distribution for "Robopocalypse", while Fox is on hand to distribute it internationally.
