According to Hathaway, she signed up for the thriller after seeing the director William Oldroyd’s 2016 drama, “Lady MacBeth” starring Florence Pugh.Anne Hathaway revealed Saturday that she was once asked a creepy question when she was just 16 years old.

“I thought it was an extraordinary work,” said Hathaway. “I saw a study of female complication that hit me really, really deep, and I felt like Will was a filmmaker that could be trusted to tell complicated stories, especially about females.”Speaking at the screening of “Eileen” at the Sundance Film Festival, the 40-year-old actress made the startling revelation about how she resonated with the film.“I just remembered one of the very first questions I ever got asked when I started acting and had to do press was: ‘Are you a good girl or a bad girl?’” said the “Devil Wears Prada” actress. “I was 16. And my 16-year-old self wanted to respond with this film.”

“Eileen” was originally adapted for the screen by Ottessa Moshfeg from a book of the same name and tells the story of a doctor (Hathaway) who forms a homoerotic bond with a Massachusetts prison staffer (Thomasin McKenzie) who is forced to take care of her alcoholic father.
