Woody Allen’s proclivity to pepper his films with an enviable cast continues apace as Variety confirms the recent rumours that Jesse Eisenberg was to sign on to star in Allen’s next film and goes one further by announcing that Super girl Ellen Page also has a part.
Alec Baldwin was already set to the Rome based film, about which nothing (naturally) is known except that Allen has enlisted his Oscar winning Vicki Christina Barcelona star Penelope Cruz to star.
Eisenberg is a seemingly obivous fit for Allen’s work, while Baldwin worked with the director twenty one years ago in Alice with Mia Farrow, Page is another actress whose star is on the rise and has never yet been anything less than charming in every film I’ve seen her in.
Another film, another great cast – let’s hope this one continues Allen’s resurgence after Match Point and VCB. His latest, Midnight in Paris, opens Cannes next month.
