Anne Hathaway and Salma Hayek Join Netflix’s Adaptation of Seesaw Monster, Based on the Novel by Bullet Train Author Kotaro Isaka

Anne Hathaway and Salma Hayek are teaming up to star in an adaptation of Kotaro Isaka’s 2019 novel Seesaw Monster.

Netflix secured the feature rights, with Olivia Milch (Ocean’s 8) set to write the screenplay adaptation and Hathaway and Hayek producing, via Deadline.

No director is attached, though it comes on the heels of the success of Bullet Train, which was adapted from Isaka’s 2010 novel Maria Beetle.

The novel goes between Japan’s Showa Era (1926-1989) and the year 2050, following the mysterious relationship between a wife and her mother-in-law.

Netflix didn’t disclose any official plot details but said the project is an, ‘action-comedy two-hander’ following Hathaway and Hayek as rivals forced to work together.

No production schedule was given at this time for the project and it’s unclear how many more characters need to be cast.

Both Hathaway and Hayek will serve as producers, with Hathaway producing through her Somewhere Pictures company and Hayek for Ventanarosa Productions.

They will produce alongside Akiva Goldsman and Gregory Lessans for Weed Road Productions and Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada (Bullet Train) for CTB Inc.

Screenwriter Milch will serve as an executive producer alongside Jose Tamez and Siobhan Flynn for Ventanarosa Productions and Adam Shulman and Jonathan Rice for Somewhere Pictures.

Hathaway can currently be seen in the new drama Armageddon Time from director James Gray, starring alongside Jeremy Strong and Anthony Hopkins.

She will next be seen in Eileen with Thomasin McKenzie, Shea Whigham and Marin Ireland which is completed and awaiting release.

The actress also has She Came To Me with Marisa Tomei and Peter Dinklage and Mothers’ Instinct with Jessica Chastain and Josh Charles in post-production.

Hayek is coming off four movies released in 2021 – Bliss, Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Eternals and House of Gucci.

She also starred in the 2022 BMW Super Bowl commercial as the goddess Hera, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Zeus.

She returns to voice Kitty Softpaws in the animated sequel Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, in theaters December 21, and she also stars in Magic Mike’s Last Dance, in theaters February 10, 2023.
