Los Angeles: Actor Anne Hathaway is set to star in an adaptation of French Children Don't Throw Food.
Based on the autobiography from Pamela Druckerman, the project is being financed by StudioCanal, with Blueprint Picture set to produce, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
Druckerman wrote the 2012 book Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting after she had a child in Paris, reported Variety.
She noticed that French children were well-behaved and slept through the night by the time they were two or three months old.

The story, described as Julie & Julia in tone, follows an American journalist who moves to Paris for her husband's job and raises a family there. As she tries to figure out how to balance her family and career, and battle the feelings that she is failing at both, she observes her French neighbours and friends to uncover the secrets behind parenting well-behaved French children. She discovers that everyone, no matter how perfect they might appear, has their own problems.
Jamie Minoprio and Jonathan Stern wrote the most recent draft of the adaptation.
Hathaway is currently seen in the Joan Didion adaptation The Last Thing He Wanted from Dee Rees for Netflix. She next will be seen in Robert Zemeckis' The Witches remake, playing the Grand High Witch.
