Actress Anne Hathaway will star in "The Opposite of Love," portraying a commitment-phobic attorney who finds her well-constructed life coming apart when she rejects her ready-for-marriage boyfriend.

The 20th Century Fox project is based on the best-seller by Julie Buxbaum, with writer (and actress) Kara Holden adapting the screenplay.

Hathaway's performance as a recovering addict in Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married," which opens October 3, has generated awards speculation. Among her previous big-screen credits are "Brokeback Mountain," "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Get Smart."
