Anne Hathaway has closed a deal to star as the Grand High Witch in Robert Zemeckis and Warner Bros.' "The Witches" adaptation.
安妮·海瑟薇已经敲定出演罗伯特·泽米基斯和华纳兄弟改编的《女巫》中的大女巫。

Variety first reported that Hathaway was holding the offer for both that and “Sesame Street,” and at the time, scheduling for both films were holding up dealmaking.
《综艺》杂志最初报道称，海瑟薇同时拿到了《女巫》和《芝麻街》的合作邀约，但两部电影的档期都阻碍了交易的达成。

With those issues settled, Hathaway is now set to star in the role originally portrayed by Anjelica Huston in the 1990 classic.
随着这些问题的解决，海瑟薇现在将出演1990年经典电影中最初由安杰丽卡·休斯顿扮演的角色。

Based on the 1973 novel, the film follows a 7-year-old boy who has a run in with real-life witches.
这部电影改编自1973年的同名小说，讲述的是一个7岁的小男孩与现实生活中的女巫之间的故事。

Warner Bros. had previously adapted the book in 1990 with Huston playing one of the title characters, but sources close to the project say Zemeckis' version will be more rooted in the original source material, while the Huston pic was a loose adaptation.
华纳兄弟早在1990年就改编过这本书，休斯顿在书中饰演其中一个主角，但知情人士说，泽米基斯的版本将更忠于原著，而休斯顿的那部电影则是随意改编的。

Hathaway and WB are coming off “Ocean's 8,” a spinoff of the “Ocean's Eleven” movies.
海瑟薇和华纳兄弟即将推出《十一罗汉》的衍生剧《瞒天过海:美人计》。

She can next be seen in the thriller “Serenity” and the comedy “The Hustle,” and recently wrapped production on the Netflix drama “The Last Thing He Wanted.”
接下来，她将出演惊悚片《宁静》和喜剧《偷心女盗》，最近她还完成了奈飞电视剧《他最后想要的东西》的制作。
