Romola Garai Circling "One Day"

The Hollywood Reporter has said that Romola Garai is in negotiations to join the cast of Focus Features' romantic comedy One Day for director Lone Scherfig. Production begins in the summer in London.

Day stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess as people who meet during their 1988 graduation and proceed to meet one day a year for the next 20 years. In "When Harry Met Sally ..." fashion, the story tracks their lives and loves until they realize they were meant for each other.

The British-born Garai will play the woman Sturgess' character marries then ultimately divorces during those years.

The project is based on a novel by British author David Nicholls, who adapted the screenplay. Nina Jacobson is producing via her Color Force banner with Random House Films.

Garai, repped by UTA and ARG in the U.K., most recently played the title role in the BBC miniseries "Emma." Other film credits include "Atonement" and "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights."

Alice in Wonderland Opens to Massive $210.3M Worldwide

The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend. Click here for the full box office estimates of the top 12 films and then check back on Monday for the final figures based on actual box office.

Walt Disney Pictures' Alice in Wonderland took over the worldwide box office this weekend, earning $116.3 million domestically and $94 million overseas for three-day total of $210.3 million! The domestic figure from 3,728 theaters marks the sixth-biggest opening weekend of all time and is a new record for a film opening in March, destroying the $70.9 million that 300 made in 2007. It's the biggest opening ever for Tim Burton (his previous top opener was Planet of the Apes' $68.5 million), the biggest non-sequel release of all time, and the biggest 3D release ever, besting the $77 million that Avatar earned in December. Alice is also the largest debut ever for a winter release, surpassing The Passion of The Christ ($83.8 million).

Alice took over the top spot in foreign markets from Avatar, which had been No. 1 for 11 consecutive weeks. Overseas, the film debuted at 5,600 theaters in 41 markets, which represents only about 60% of the international market. The $94 million marks the biggest international opening weekend ever for a movie released in the January-April period.

Alice in Wonderland also broke Avatar's previous IMAX record of $9.5 million by earning $11.9 million on 188 of the large format screens - that's an average of $64,197 per site!

Directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Mia Wasikowska, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Christopher Lee, Paul Whitehouse and Barbara Windsor, the fantasy-adventure was made for about $200 million.

The Early Show Interview

View the video after the article (below the break).

Actress Anne Hathaway is a sweetheart -- in most of her roles, anyway.

From her first big role as a nice teenager in The Princess Diaries to playing an ingénue in the backbiting fashion film Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway knows how to play the good girl.

In recent years, the Academy Award nominated actress has shown her versatility in a variety of different roles, but she's back to being "good."

Early Show Special Correspondent and British TV personality Amanda Holden recently sat down with the star to discuss her career and latest role as the Good White Queen in "Alice in Wonderland."

Love and Other Drugs Early Review

There have been some early screenings for Anne's next film Love and Other Drugs and some viewers have been leaving their comments on the film's IMDb forum.

Hollywood Elsewhere had this snippet from a review that particularly praises Annie. Saying she looks like the first major Oscar contender for next year! Wow. Love and Other Drugs sees Hathaway reuniting with her Brokeback Mountain co-star Jake Gyllenhaal. I personally can't wait to see this!

Hathaway's Love and Other Drugs performance, in short, sounds like the first strong contender for a 2010 Best Actress Oscar.

"Anne Hathaway burns up the screen, and not just because she's naked half the time. Even when she's dressed you simply can't take your eyes off her. I thought she was good in Rachel Getting Married, but in this one -- as a free-spirit arty girl with early-onset Parkinson's -- she's very funny and really hard-core. My guess is another nomination will be coming her way.

Lucky Actress

Anne Hathaway thinks she is lucky to have landed so many big movie roles.

The 27-year-old actress believes she has been fortunate to land so many big roles, but admits she has often found herself out of her depth when working with big Hollywood names.

She said: "I owe so much of my career to luck. My mother always told me that luck is preparation meets opportunity and I've been given extraordinary opportunities to work with filmmakers long before I was talented enough and deserved to work with them. I've learned a lot from them. I just keep getting hired. I consider myself lucky and I don't know who is responsible for it."

Anne's latest role is as the White Queen in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and she admits 'living' in the fantastical world appealed to her.

She said: "I'd be happy to live in a world with no rules and where people are curious."

Anne Hathaway Feels Like She's In A "Glorified Acting Program

The Hollywood actress has starred in a string of box office smashes, including The Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain and Bride Wars.

She can soon be seen in Tim Burton’s new movie Alice in Wonderland, but admits she still feels like she’s learning the craft.

“Right now, I just feel like I’m in a glorified acting program,” she explained. “I get to learn drama from Meryl Streep, then I get to turn around and learn comedy from Steve Carrell. It’s kind of insane. Acting really, really is the only thing I’m interested in doing. Even if i was acting in a church basement theatre for the rest of my life, I would enjoy it.”

"Alice In Wonderland" Royal World Premiere

As previously reported, tonight was the Royal premiere of Anne Hathaway's latest film Alice In Wonderland (which hits theatres next Friday). The event was held at Odeon Leicester Square in London.

Anne looked gorgeous in a sparkling brown dress created by Vivienne Westwood, one of England's most iconic designers. I'm personally a bit iffy on the overall look of her dress. I don't hate it, but I'm underwhelmed. Especially for such a prestigious premiere. I've added a couple of shots below the cut.

You can view photos of Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska (looking every bit the belle of the ball in my opinion) on the corresponding links.

Lots more coverage of this event will be provided tomorrow when more media has been released.

4 New "Alice In Wonderland" Clips

IGN and Yahoo! Movies have revealed four more clips from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland which you can watch using the players below. Opening in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on March 5, the fantasy-adventure stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Mia Wasikowska, Alan Rickman, Fry, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Christopher Lee, Paul Whitehouse and Barbara Windsor.

The first of the clips features The White Queen in a scene with Alice. I decided to only watch it, and I have to say I'm even more excited to see Miss Anne's portrayal of this character. Looks like she had a lot of fun with the movie!

Was Anne Hathaway Really Up For A "Spider Man 4" Role?

When it comes to the Spider-Man movie franchise these days, it seems like there are far more questions that answers. Are all these casting rumors accurate? Will the king of 3-D, James Cameron, have any influence on how Marc Webb tackles the gig? And did Sam Raimi ever get close enough to rolling cameras that there were concrete plans for the supporting characters ?

Over the years, we’ve spoken with Anne Hathaway many times and always found her to be exactly as you’d expect: Sweet, polite and never one to speak out of school. And when it came time to speak with her last week for the upcoming release of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland re-imagining, we remembered that it was our first time talking with the actress since Raimi’s Spider Man 4 plans fell apart. So, it seemed reasonable that Hathaway might finally be willing to reveal how truthful those rumors were about her having a role in the now-canceled film.
