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.

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.

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.

Freida Pinto was spotted in the streets of London while filming a scene for the upcoming comedy/drama by Woody Allen yesterday. She was shooting a scene with Josh Brolin, and holding some kind of cheese (?) in her hands. Check out the photos right away!

A few more details regarding Woody Allen’s upcoming project has been revealed, including Freida’s role! Here’s what the article from Londoner’s Diary said:

As usual with a Woody Allen project, details are being kept under wraps. However, the leaflet reveals that the Bedford Park location is to be “Lolita’s Parents’ House” — Lolita, the daughter of academics, to be played by Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto.

According to MEDIAPRO, one of the producers, the yet untitled Woody Allen Project is now in production! The cast includes Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch and Naomi Watts, and filming is expected to last about seven weeks. Here’s what the MEDIAPRO website said about the project.

The film is a comedy-drama, set in London, about a number of people in a family, their assorted love lives, and they all trying to work out complicated romances.

“Once again I’m blessed with a fabulous cast. I’m happy to be back in London and working again with MEDIAPRO.” commented Woody Allen.

This is second time around for MEDIAPRO in the production of a Woody Allen film following the excellent experience of Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film, which is slated to be released in the autumn of 2010, will be followed by two further MEDIAPRO Woody Allen productions.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lucy Punch is the next Nicole Kidman. In the new Woody Allen film, that is.

The British actress wowed the writer-director with a screen test and secured the role in Allen’s newest film that Kidman had taken in March and vacated weeks later.

The relative unknown, who starred on the CBS series The Class and had roles in Hot Fuzz and Ella Enchanted, joins Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins in the untitled project.

Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures are producing, with financing from Spain-based Mediapro, which also funded Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film will shoot in London in the summer.

Anupam Kher has been lined up to star in Woody Allen’s next film, alongside Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Antonio Banderas and Naomi Watts.

The Hindi actor has described being hired by the director as a “dream come true”, and will be joined in the movie by fellow Indian Freida Pinto. Kher will play Pinto’s father in the flick, which is yet to be officially named.

“Last year I worked with another international filmmaking legend, Ang Lee. Now, Woody Allen. What more could any actor ask for in his 25th year in the business?” said Kher.

Allen has informed the 54-year-old that his character and the plotline will only be fully revealed to him immediately before filming.
