The project, which currently has no writer or director, is based on Gerald Clarke's biography of the actress and singer. The book detailed Garland's battles with personal and financial problems up to her death in 1969 at the age of 47.
Garland's famous movie credits included The Wizard Of Oz, Meet Me In St Louis and A Star Is Born.
Like Garland, Hathaway began her acting career at a young age in The Princess Diaries franchise. More recently, she was nominated for a best actress Oscar for her role in Rachel Getting Married.
