It comes out that Meryl Streep played a key role in Anne Hathaway’s casting as Andy, the beleaguered assistant. The studio was unsure about Hathaway’s desire for the part. They didn’t want Hathaway’s more kid-friendly stuff, which he was known for. Rachel McAdams was approached three times for the part, but she turned it down each time.

According to Entertainment Weekly’s interview with filmmaker David Frankel, “Brokeback Mountain was about to come out. Annie had a wonderful, small role in that. And Meryl watched that scene from the movie, she met with her and called up Tom Rothman at Fox and said, ‘Yeah, this girl’s great, and I think we’ll work well together.’”
