Speaker 1 (00:00):
Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Specific details around Ann Hathaway's upcoming h twenty four drama
Mother Mary are being kept under lock and key, but
it's known that she plays the title character, a pop
diva who suffers a breakdown and flees her tour, and
that the scale of the film is immense, and while
Anne is super talented, she never considered herself a serious
musician or dancer before taking on this role and knew
she'd be utterly convincing, so transforming and training for it

(00:25):
proved a humbling experience. She tells Vogue. What struck me
right away after reading the script is that you can't
perform Mother Mary. I'd have to become the material and
have to submit to being a beginner. The humility is
in showing up every day knowing you're gonna suck and
it has to be okay, You're not bad, You're just
being a beginner. To get that mindset, I had to
shed some things that were hard to shed. It was welcome,

(00:46):
but it was hard, the way transformational experiences should be hard,
the words of Van Hathaway there on an upcoming pop
star drama, Mother Mary, set to announce an official release
dates soon.
