Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, and Alec Baldwin are joining Penelope Cruz in Woody Allen’s next feature film. Variety reports that the film is scheduled to shoot in Rome this summer. As usual, the plot and title are unknown at this point, but I’m willing to bet that if it’s a drama then the story will revolve around morals and murder, and if it’s a comedy there will be a neurotic Allen-surrogate. The casting of Eisenberg makes me think it’s the latter.
The untitled film will be the first collaboration with Allen for Eisenberg and Page, but it will be a reunion for Cruz and Baldwin. Cruz previously starred and won an Oscar for her work in 2008′s Vicky Christina Barcelona while Baldwin co-starred in Allen’s 1990 comedy Alice. Allen’s new film, Midnight in Paris, opens May 20th.

Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page together in one film. OMG!
OMG (2)
I’m still riding the Jesse Eisenberg wave. This must be a long-time dream of his to work with Woody Allen. I hope it’s not a comedy like “Whatever Works”. for obvious reasons.
Page and Jesse are a good pairing. maybe they’ll become Allen regulars.
