Anne Hathaway talks to Paul about her new film The Idea of You: Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway is a single mother who falls in love with a pop star in the new romantic comedy "The Idea of You" — and if you look closely enough, you might recognize a few locations in the film.
Shot in and around Atlanta, the Amazon Original co-stars Nicholas Galitzine as the young singer-songwriter, whom Hathaway’s character Solène meets at Coachella. And while the music festival scenes might look like they were filmed on-location in California, the stars say they never actually left the Hollywood of the South. READ FULL STORY.
