Anne Hathaway can do teen comedies, super hero movies, depressing dramas, and musicals — so what's next?

How about a dark comedy! That sounds about right!

We're hearing that Anne is neck-deep in negotiations to star in a dark comedy called LAGGIES from Lynn Shelton. If that doesn't get your pants fitting a little funny, how about the fact that Chloe Moretz and Sam Rockwell have already joined??

Hell yessssss!!

As the character Megan, Anne would be a:

"perpetual adolescent and late-twentysomething who, freaked out by her boyfriend's marriage proposal, pretends to go on a career retreat but actually hides out for a week with 16-year-old Annika (Moretz), her new best friend."

PERFECTION!

Our eyes and our bodies are ready for this!! Take us now!! (Or at least our wallets!)

LOLz!

This sounds right up his alley!

Alan Ball, the creator of True Blood and Six Feet Under, is set to direct and produce a new film for Paramount, based on an idea that he developed with writer Elan Mastai.

No news yet on the plot, but according to sources, it's a dark comedy with a twist!

Well, we certainly know that Ball is a genius at making really dark, effed up shit sickly funny, so we're very eager to see what his next cinematic venture will entail!
