The Bride Wars star will portray The Wizard Of Oz actress in the upcoming biopic Get Happy.
The actress revealed that she may have taken on more than she can handle in recreating the life of the late entertainer.
"I think I’m either naive or insane to play her - maybe a little bit of both!" she told New York Daily News.
Hathaway added that she appreciates Garland’s daughter Liza Minnelli’s previous statement that the movie should focus on the singer’s talent, rather than her personal demons.
"I haven’t had a chance to talk to her about it yet, but I understand that as long as I treat Judy with respect - which of course I will - Liza is very happy about it."
