Prior to the release of The Idea Of You, Anne Hathaway talked about the genre of movies she loves to work on and revealed what made her interested in the upcoming rom-com.

"There was something about Solène and Hayes and their love that did feel true," she added.

Hathaway went on to explain how the team behind The Idea Of You wanted to make a movie "that would make audiences feel wonderful by telling a story about people who are a pleasure to know and are fun to watch together." The Princess Diaries star further mentioned, "the truth that is emerging from this moment is that it’s not necessarily who they are or how they look or how they present or any of those things. It’s just about love."
