Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables, Ocean’s 8) will lead The Last Thing He Wanted adaptation from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Dee Rees for Netflix, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
The Last Thing He Wanted will be directed by Rees from the script co-written by her alongside Marco Villalobos.
The Last Thing He Wanted centers on a hardscrabble journalist named Elena McMahon (Hathaway) who inherits her father’s position as a dealmaker — an arms dealmaker.
The director is reteaming with the streaming service after their collaboration on the Academy Award-nominated drama Mudbound.
