Just a quick update to let you know that Woody Allen’s completed film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics for a fall release.

Shot in London last year and financed by Mediapro, the Spanish company that also funded Vicky Cristina Barcelona, not much is known about the film beyond its strong cast — Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto, and Naomi Watts — and a vague logline: “The film revolves around the members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to solve their problems.”

No word yet if the movie will be screened at this year’s Cannes International Film Festival or not. When information becomes available I’ll report it to you. Stay tuned for that.

According to several sources, Mickey Rourke has signed on to star in Relativity Media’s War of the Gods, about a Greek mythological battle, starring opposite Henry Cavill and Freida Pinto.

According to Variety, the story follows a young warrior Theseus who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil and the powerful elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.

Rourke has been cast as the villain, King Hyperion. Tarsem Singh is directing. Pinto will portray Phaedra, an oracle priestess who must join Theseus – played by Cavill – on his quest to prevent the cataclysmic war from erupting. Jason Keller penned the most recent draft of the script. The original screenplay was written by Christian Gudegast.

Production is set to start in April.

Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger will be released on September 23, according to reports. Freida Pinto stars alongside Oscar nominated Naomi Watts, Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, Oscar nominated Josh Brolin, and Golden Globe nominated Antonio Banderas. Quite the cast, no?

The film is about a family, love lives of its members and how they try to solve their issues. Directed and written by Woody Allen, it was filmed in United Kingdom last year.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Mickey Rourke is possibly joining Freida Pinto and Henry Cavill in War of the Gods. He’s supposedly being courted by Millennium Films and Lionsgate to join the remake of Conan The Barbarian, titled just Conan, which is the Marcus Nispel-directed reinvention of the Robert E. Howard creation. Rourke is negotiating to play Corin, the father of Conan who’s played by Jason Momoa.

At the same time, Rourke is negotiating for the Tarsem Singh-directed War of the Gods and the part of King Hyperion, the ruler of Ancient Greece who does battle with the divines.

Conan begins shooting in Bulgaria in late March and War of the Gods begins April 7th, so it is possible he might need to make a choice between the two projects.

I’m really excited for Freida’s film career, she now has three interesting projects ahead of her! What do you think of War of the Gods? Discuss at the forum!

At least he says so! According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz411 blog, Schnabel says Miral is his best movie yet. After The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Before Night Falls, that’s saying a lot! He also mentioned that the movie is close to be finished and that Freida Pinto portrays the title character of Miral.

There’s also a rumor saying that the movie is very likely to be shown at the Cannes Internation Film Festival in May! When more information about this surfaces, you can be sure to find it here. :)

First of all I’d like to say I’m sorry for not updating for the last weeks, I simply haven’t been able to access the Internet and probably won’t until mid-November. Still, I’ll try to update the best I can.

Now to the good news, the Woody Allen project Freida filmed this summer in London has finally received a title! According to many credible sources, it’s named You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger. A very mysterious – yet intriguing – title, if you ask me. The movie will open next fall, and revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems.

You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger stars Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Gemma Jones and Lucy Punch.
