Tim Burton considered Hathaway for the part of Johanna Barker in his 2007 film "," but the role went to Jayne Wisener, a then-unknown actress, reportedly because Burton decided he wanted an unknown, younger actress for the part.
Anne Hathaway je pozneje povedala, da ji je snemanje filma pomenilo več, kot nagrade, ki jih je film dobil in da si je kot igralka želela pripovedovati predvsem zgodbe, kot je bila zgodba v filmu "Gora Brokeback".
