Alone at Dawn is a brand new Amazon MGM Studios movie from director Ron Howard, and the cast will be led by Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway. If I could handpick two actors that I’ve been dying to see star alongside each other in a creative project, it would be these two. Both have proven themselves to be such nuanced, rich, and emotionally complex performers; both have been nominated for Academy Awards, and both are simply dazzling whenever they grace the silver screen (if you can’t tell, I’m a massive fan!).


Keep reading for the latest news on Ron Howard's Alone at Dawn, starring Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway.

When I Fell in Love With Adam Driver

I fell in love with Adam Driver ever since his portrayal as Hannah Horvath’s morally gray boyfriend Adam on HBO’s Girls. How he managed to pull off a character who’s equal parts endearing as he is a literal walking red flag, I’ll never know.

Anne Hathaway’s Star-Making Journey

As for Anne Hathaway, I’ve loved her ever since my soccer team and I went to see The Princess Diaries in theaters, right after we lost a big game (we were all in kindergarten, so the stakes weren’t that high). Hathaway went from being a Disney darling to an Oscar-winning sensation, following her heart wrenching portrayal of Fantine in Les Misérables.

Why This Project Feels So Promising

My esoteric dream of the two pairing up together on screen is finally coming true, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier. And to add to my excitement? It’s being directed by the one and only Ron Howard. With this rich cast of actors, along with the acclaimed A Beautiful Mind director sitting behind the camera, I already know we’re in for a riveting ride with this movie. So, fellow cinephiles, let’s raise a glass to this promising new film.

Alone At Dawn has just recently been announced, so most of the details are under wraps for the time being. With this in mind, here are all the facts we know so far.

The upcoming film promises to honor John Chapman, a former Air Force controller, who tragically passed away back in 2002 while serving in Afghanistan. Sergeant Chapman died a hero while doing everything he could to protect his team. Over two decades later, his story is now being honored on the big screen.
