Antonio Banderas joins Woody Allen project

This film just keeps on getting bigger and bigger! Another name has been announced for Woody Allen’s next project – Antonio Banderas. The Spaniard joins Indian Freido Pinto, British-Australian Naomi Watts, American Josh Brolin and Brit Anthony Hopkins. International cast? Check!

The so-far-untitled movie is scheduled to start shooting in London, England, in July. Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures are producing, with financing from the Spain-based Mediapro, which also funded Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Here’s what Freida recently said of the movie: “I haven’t even read the script. I spoke to him for 10 minutes. I’m going to New York to meet him,” Pinto revealed. “It happened literally last week, just before I came here for the Oscars. The sweetest Oscar gift ever. I’m going to do it because it’s Woody Allen.”

Since Freida’s in New York City at the moment, I think she has now met/will meet with Woody. I can’t wait to hear more details on the movie. So excited!
