Anne Hathaway is about to get her sparkle on.

The Oscar-winning actress is in negotiations to play Barbie in the live-action comedy that was initially supposed to star Amy Schumer , according to The Hollywood Reporter. Schumer dropped out in March, citing scheduling conflicts.

A Sony project, this big-screen Barbie adaptation has been in development since 2014 , when it was reported the studio was eyeing a global franchise (of course). By the time Schumer was brought on, Sony had hired three writers to pen potential screenplays, ultimately picking Community and Happy Endings scribe Hilary Winstons idea, in which life is plastic but not so fantastic.
