In 1990, when Anne Hathaway was only 7 years old, the movie adaptation of Jeffrey Dahl’s 1973 children’s novel “The Witches” hit the big screen. While Hathaway hasn’t publicly commented on her familiarity with the original film, she’s going to star as “Grand High Witch” in an upcoming remake slated for release later this year.
Twenty years after the original hit theaters nationwide, “The Witches” remake is being produced by esteemed filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, the man who directed the timeless classics Forrest Gump and the Back to the Future franchise.
