In over three years at Collider, senior author Jake has now penned over 3000 articles covering a wide range of TV and film for the resources, lists, utilities, news, and interview teams. Alongside interviewing stars such as Selin Hizli, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Harlan Coben, and Chelsea Peretti, Jake was lucky enough to visit the set of Aardman and Netflix's Wallace and Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024, getting the chance to chat with four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. Jake has also worked for other publications, including Agents of Fandom. You can also hear Jake every week as the resident film and TV journalist on Track Radio.
Not only is she currently pregnant with her third child, but Hollywood royalty Anne Hathawayis also having the busiest year of her career. After starting 2026 with David Lowery's underrated psychological drama Mother Mary, Hathaway turned her attention to one of her biggest movies in years in the spring, as she rejoined Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Bluntfor The Devil Wears Prada 2, which was called "a near-perfect blend of nostalgia and newness" by Collider's own Taylor Gates.
Then came a summertime one-two box-office knockout for Hathaway, which began with a film that is officially her highest-grossing of all time. Hathaway features as Penelope alongside a starry cast in Christopher Nolan's historical epic The Odyssey, which has grossed almost $1.7 billion worldwide. Then came the Spielberg-esque sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, which finished its theatrical run just shy of $120 million globally, sadly falling short of expectations against a reported $85 million budget. Next month, she will add yet another theatrical release to her 2026 schedule, as she stars in Verity, the latest in a flurry of Colleen Hoover adaptations on the big screen.

Your Universe Has Been ChosenYou Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You'd find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world's beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien's universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what's right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter's universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don't confuse the world as it is with the world as you'd like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe's most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don't just hope that's possible. You think it's the only thing worth working toward.
Anne Hathaway Isn't Done Yet
Despite being one of the busiest people in Hollywood and expanding her family, Hathaway isn't showing any signs of slowing down. The Academy Award winner is now teaming up on a new project with double Oscar nominee Adam Driver and Betty Gilpin, who is off the back of winning Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series at the Primetime Emmys. The film in question is Alone at Dawn, Ron Howard's adaptation of the 2019 book of the same name by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz, which recounts the true-life story of United States Air Force Combat Controller John A. Chapman.
Excitingly, Deadline has just exclusively revealed the release date for Alone at Dawn, which is set to be the perfect Christmas present for Hathaway fans next year. Officially, Amazon MGM Studios and Imagine Entertainment‘s Alone at Dawn will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2027, before expanding on January 7 and getting a wide break over the MLK weekend, January 14-17. American Sniper, a drama with similar traits to Alone at Dawn, also found success with this holiday release corridor.
Anne Hathaway's Alone at Dawn will be released next Christmas. Her next feature, Verity, debuts on October 2. For all the latest movie news, stay tuned to Collider.

Executive Summary
Full Take
The narrative weaves together the high-velocity demands of celebrity culture with a framework for existential identity presented through a personality quiz structure focused on iconic fictional universes. The juxtaposition of Jake's deep, immersive journalistic work—connecting to creators and physical sets—with Anne Hathaway's high-stakes cinematic trajectory creates a tension between creation (artistic output) and consequence (personal life/career).
The Star Wars universe is positioned as the outcome for those prioritizing collective resistance and the will to act for a greater cause, suggesting a valuation of freedom over immediate comfort. Conversely, Middle-earth emphasizes the weight of shared experience, loyalty, and endurance in the face of inevitable hardship, implying that true meaning resides in the journey and fellowship rather than singular victory. Harry Potter suggests a balance where internal moral fortitude and relational bonds are the primary engines for change. Game of Thrones reflects a pragmatic, ruthless understanding of power dynamics, suggesting an acceptance of conflict as an inescapable reality. Star Trek advocates for an optimistic, future-oriented framework rooted in cooperative expansion of knowledge.
The overall structure subtly positions specific fictional realities not as escapism, but as archetypes reflecting innate or desired modes of existence—a psychological map overlaid onto popular culture. The shift from the expansive moral clarity of *Star Wars* to the tangible bonds of *Lord of the Rings* and the internalized morality of *Harry Potter* suggests a trajectory where identity is formed by prioritizing either external action (Star Wars), internal endurance (LOTR), or relational ethics (HP). The concluding focus on Hathaway's career reinforces this: whether navigating massive commercial success (*The Odyssey*) or deeply personal narrative choices (*Verity*), the human experience remains defined by how one chooses to resolve conflict, define morality, and perceive the future. The inherent tension lies in reconciling the public performance of these epic narratives with the private, tangible realities described by the subjects within them.
Bridge Questions: If instinct points toward a universe, how does consciously choosing that framework change the immediate, everyday decisions made outside of major life events? What is the practical mechanism by which prioritizing "fellowship" over "glory" translates into actionable steps in a complex, modern world? Does the pursuit of large-scale narrative arcs inevitably distort the smaller moral choices necessary for personal integrity?
