Marion Cotillard to Join Owen Wilson and First Lady Carla Bruni in Woody Allen’s Next Movie

Posted: March 3rd, 2010 at 7:22 am

Already very close to landing Owen Wilson for what one would have to assume would be the lead male role in his next movie to shoot in France, Woody Allen is also now apparently about to snare an incredibly beautiful leading lady to join him.

Deadline first reported that Marion Cotillard is about to sign on for this, meaning she would join French First Lady Carla Bruni in the as-yet-untitled flick. Details are scant so far as to what it just might be about - so far all I’ve seen is that it will be a “romantic drama” and shoot this summer. Allen can certainly be hit or miss of late, but Vicky Cristina Barcelona stands in my book as one of his best, so he surely has a few good movies left in him, and with this cast, I’m betting this will eventually be one of them..

Hit the jump to find out what Allen has cooking in London with a whole lot of stars in the meantime.

Owen Wilson Signs on to Star in Woody Allen Movie

After decades of turning to the world’s most beautiful women as his inspiration, RiskyBiz reports that Woody Allen is now following up his work with Larry David by signing Owen Wilson as one of the main stars of his new, as-yet-untitled movie.

That doesn’t mean, however, that there still won’t be at least one beauty on the set when this shoots this summer. Oddly enough, France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, has revealed that she too would be in the movie, though Allen’s camp hasn’t confirmed that.

Even though I found Whatever Works, Allen’s work with the usually incredibly funny David, to be an almost complete disaster, with the right material, Wilson would seem to have the dry sort of wit Allen can certainly tap into (or at least he used to in Wes Anderson flicks like Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums.)

Definitely keep your eyes on this one, and hit the jump to find out what else Allen and Wilson will be up to in the meantime.

Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and Naomi Watts WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER in Woody Allen’s Next Film

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the name of Woody Allen’s next movie is “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,” so thanks for giving that away, Woody.  I go into movies trying not to know who I will meet and you give it away in the title.  Good going, funny boy.  Once you move past the spoiler-alert, you have an interesting cast of Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, and Naomi Watts.  I wouldn’t put those actors together off the top of my head but Allen could assemble any group of actors he wants because no one turns down an opportunity to work with Woody Allen.  Well, except for Nicole Kidman, but ever since 2002, her choice in projects has been tremendous.

“You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” co-stars Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto and Lucy Punch.  The film revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems.  And since it’s a Woody Allen film, that’s all you get to know.  The movie is slated to hit theaters in Fall 2010.
