Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway Team Up for Ron Howard’s Military Drama ALONE AT DAWN
Ron Howard has built a career on turning real-life stories into unforgettable cinematic experiences, and now he’s gearing up for his next one. The Oscar-winning filmmaker is set to direct Alone at Dawn for Amazon MGM Studios, with Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway leading the cast.
When Howard began searching for the right actor to carry this story, he ultimately turned to Driver, who not only brings a history of powerhouse performances but also his own personal connection as a former Marine.
According to sources, Driver has long been interested in tackling a military-focused role, but only if the story felt meaningful enough to tell. Alone at Dawn finally gave him that opportunity.
Once Driver joined the project, Howard and the producers began searching for his co-star. The script soon landed in Hathaway’s hands, and after meeting with the team, she signed on to star opposite Driver in the film.
Howard has proven time and again that he knows how to craft gripping narratives from real events. Films like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind cemented his reputation, with the latter earning him his first Oscar for directing.
One of his more recent works with Amazon, Thirteen Lives, was another critically acclaimed drama, chronicling the rescue of a Thai soccer team trapped in a cave.
Both Hathaway and Driver bring serious star power and impressive resumes to this project. Hathaway is currently shooting The Devil Wears Prada 2 and recently wrapped The Odyssey with Christopher Nolan.
Driver, meanwhile, has a stacked lineup of projects. He’ll next be seen in Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother and James Gray’s Paper Tiger.
Amazon will release the film in theaters as part of its ongoing first-look deal with Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment. The project is being produced by Imagine Entertainment, The Hideaway Entertainment, and Thruline Entertainment.
With Howard at the helm and two powerhouse stars leading the way, Alone at Dawn could end up being a great military drama.
