Woody Allenhas been churning out films at a reliable rate of one per year since the ’80s, and apparently not even hisfirst-ever TV seriescan slow him down. The director is getting the pieces together for his 2016 release, and has setJesse Eisenberg,Bruce Willis, andKristen Stewartto lead the ensemble.
Get what few details we have on the Woody Allen Kristen Stewart project after the jump.
Deadlinegot the scoop. In typical Woody Allen fashion, there are no details about the new project. We don’t know what it’s going to be called, what it’s going to be about, or even what genre it’s going to be. We do know it’ll be produced by the usual team ofLetty Arsonson,Stephen Tenenbaum, andEdward Walson.
The upcoming film will be Eisenberg’s second collaboration with Allen, following 2012’sTo Rome With Love, and his third with Stewart, afterAdventurelandand the upcomingAmerican Ultra. Neither Stewart nor Willis have ever worked with Allen before. But as Allen’s resume proves, he rarely has trouble booking high-profile actors.
Eisenberg mostly laid low in 2014 but will be all over the place in 2015 and 2016. He’s currently shootingNow You See Me 2: The Second Act, and has already wrappedBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,The End of the Tour, and the aforementionedAmerican Ultra.
Stewartmade historylast month by becoming the first American actress ever to win France’s César Award, forClouds of Sils Maria. In addition, she had a prominent role inStill Alice, which won Julianne Moore the Best Actress Oscar. Also coming up for her this year isEquals, a sci-fi romance with Nicolas Hoult.
Willis recently booked a role inMiseryon Broadway, after a string of already-forgotten action movies likeViceandThe Prince. He’ll be seen later this year in the Barry Levinson comedyRock the Kasbah.
Allen’s next release is titledIrrational Manand stars Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. It’ll be released July 24 by Sony Pictures Classics. Aside from that film and this one, his next to-do is a series expected to land on Amazon in 2016 or so.
