Knightley Steps In For Hathaway In "Laggies"

Keira Knightley will replace Anne Hathaway as the female lead in the comedy "Laggies" says Variety. Hathaway dropped out due to her commitment to Christopher Nolan’s "Interstellar" which begins filming next month.

The story chronicles perpetual adolescent and late-twentysomething Megan (Knightley) who, freaked out by her boyfriend’s marriage proposal, pretends to go on a career retreat. Instead, she hides out for a week with 16-year-old Annika (Chloe Moretz), her new best friend.

Mark Webber is also in talks to play Megan’s boyfriend. Sam Rockwell will play an older character named Craig.

Andrea Seigel wrote the script from which Lynn Shelton's going to call action.

Steve Golin, Alix Madigan and Rosalie Swedlin are producing.
