Amazon Studios is taking its relationship with Woody Allen to the next level. The streaming giant, according to sources, is in negotiations to fully finance the director’s next film, the untitled Kate Winslet-Jim Belushi starrer. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Amazon was negotiating to distribute the movie, which co-stars Justin Timberlake and Juno Temple, but it now appears that the deep-pocketed company is sweetening the offer significantly. An insider pegs the pic’s budget at $25 million. By opting to have Amazon finance, Allen shut out longtime financiers Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson. The pair together have

Kate Winslet is in final negotiations to star in Woody Allen's next movie which is slated to begin shooting in the Fall.

Allen is writing, directing and producing the untitled pic, and like all his recent films the plot details are being heavily guarded.

The actress has never worked with the auteur prior to this project which Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson will produce. No distributor is yet locked though Amazon is likely.

Allen's "Cafe Society," which opened this year's Cannes Film Festival, opens July 16th.

Lionsgate executives have set a July 15 limited launch for Woody Allen’s Cannes Film Festival opener.

Café Society will expand on July 22 and go into wide release one week after that.

The studio is the distribution partner on the film with Amazon Studios, which has said it will bring titles to its Prime Video customers four months after theatrical release.

Prior to that, there will be an exclusive 90-day theatrical window, followed by a 30-day transactional window, when viewers will be able to watch the film via iTunes and other VOD platforms and can pay for it on Amazon in a stand-alone transaction.

Jesse Eisenberg stars in Café Society as a young man who arrives in 1930s Hollywood in search of fame and fortune and finds love. Kristen Stewart also stars, alongside Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Corey Stoll, Ken Stott and Jeannie Berlin.

As the rumors swirl when it comes to the line-up for the 69th Cannes Film Festival, today brings confirmation of one specific title. The festival announced today that Woody Allen‘s latest feature Café Society — which Amazon Studios is expected to release this summer — will open the event as an out-of-competition title, marking the third time one of his films has done so.

Led by Kristen Stewart (who we expect to also show up with Olivier Assayas‘ Personal Shopper) and Jesse Eisenberg, the announcement also comes with an official logline (following last week’s details from cinematographer Vittorio Storaro) and the first still, seen above. Check out the press release below in full and return for our review.

Woody Allen’s new film, Café Society starring Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg, is to open the 69th Cannes Film Festival on May 11.

Screening Out of Competition title, it marks a record-breaking coup for the New York director who has already opened Cannes twice, in 2002 with Hollywood Ending and in 2011 with Midnight in Paris.

The film tells the story of a young man (Eisenberg) who arrives in Hollywood during the 1930s hoping to work in the film industry, falls in love, and finds himself swept up in the vibrant café society that defined the spirit of the age. The cast also includes Blake Lively, Parker Posey and Steve Carell.

It marks the third time Eisenberg and Stewart have starred opposite each other after Adventureland (2009) and American Ultra (2015).

Continuing its relationship with Woody Allen, Amazon Studios has acquired all North American rights to the director’s new movie, which stars Jeannie Berlin, Steve Carell, Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Kristen Stewart, Corey Stoll and Ken Stott. A romantic comedy set in the 1930s that was shot last summer in New York and Los Angeles, the untitled film will receive a traditional theatrical release nationwide, after which it will become available exclusively to Prime members through Prime Video. Producers of the new film include Allen’s longtime collaborator Letty Aronson, as well as Steve Tenenbaum and Edward Walson.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Bruce Willis had parted ways with the 2016 Untitled Woody Allen Comedy, just days after he was spotted shooting scenes on the set in Los Angeles. Today we have word from Deadline that Steve Carell has signed on to replace him. The casting keeps the production on schedule, with filming also set to take place in New York after the L.A. shoot wraps.

We reported in March that Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg were the first three cast members to sign on for this untitled comedy movie. Bruce Willis reportedly dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with his Broadway stage play adaptation of Misery. However, there have been persisting rumors that claim the actor was actually fired by Woody Allen, because he didn't think he was right for the role.

The cast also includes Jeannie Berlin, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Corey Stoll,...

Prolific filmmaker Woody Allen has unveiled details regarding the cast of his new, as-yet-untitled feature film, which is due to begin filming in New York and Los Angeles later this month ahead of a 2016 release.

Headlining the project are Kristen Stewart, Ant-Man and House of Cards star Corey Stoll along with industry veteran Bruce Willis. They will be joined by Jeannie Berlin, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice star Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Parker Posey and Ken Stott. Co-stars include Anna Camp, Stephen Kunken, Sari Lennick and Paul Schneider. Reuniting with his regular producers, Allen’s latest directorial effort will be overseen by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Edward Walson.

Shrouded in a mystery that has become synonymous with the esteemed director, there’s little-to-no information about the film itself. What we do know is that the 2016 release will mark Woody Allen’s first return to Los Angeles with a...

Woody Allen revealed today the cast of his latest film starring Jeannie Berlin, Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Kristen Stewart, Corey Stoll, Ken Stott, and Bruce Willis. Co-stars are Anna Camp, Stephen Kunken, Sari Lennick, and Paul Schneider. The film begins shooting on location this month in New York and Los Angeles.

As per usual with Woody Allen projects, no plot or character details were revealed at this time. The filmmaker normally doesn't reveal the title of his films until post-production, sometimes until the first trailer is officially unveiled. The director did reveal to Deadline in May that he is considering shooting this latest project on digital for the first time in his illustrious career. While it hasn't been confirmed if he will shoot on film or on digital yet, here's what he had to say in the May interview.

"I've never shot anything in digital, but I think...

Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll from Ant-Man and Ken Stott have joined the cast ahead of a production start later this month in New York and Los Angeles.

As previously announced, Allen has corralled Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Kristen Stewart and Bruce Willis.

Anna Camp, Stephen Kunken, Sari Lennick and Paul Schneider are also on board.

Long-time Allen collaborators Letty Aronson and Steve Tenenbaum produce with Edward Walson.

Ronald L Chez, Adam B Stern, and Allan Teh serve as executive producers.

Allen’s most recent film Irrational Man premiered in Cannes this summer and has grossed $1.1m in the Us since its July 17 launch via Spc after receiving mostly unenthusiastic reviews.

As is his wont, no plot details have shaken from Woody Allen's next picture. But, as usual, his "Irrational Man" followup will be produced by Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson. And the full cast list has dropped. Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll and Ken Stott now join previously announced players Parker Posey (who shines as an amorous professor in "Irrational Man"), Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart and Bruce Willis. Co-stars are Anna Camp, Stephen Kunken, Sari Lennick and Paul Schneider. Casting Parker Posey again was a no-brainer. She has said she always wanted to work with the prolific director. Character actress Jeannie Berlin (of Elaine May's "The Heartbreak Kid") has never been in an Allen picture, surprisingly. Also a storied stage actress, she's fabulous in Kenneth Lonergan's film "Margaret." The film reportedly begins filming this month on location in New York and Los Angeles. Read More: The 9 Women You.

It looks like Parker Posey will once again be teaming up with Woody Allen, as she's in final negotiations to appear in the filmmaker's next project.

The actress could feature alongside Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Bruce Willis in the upcoming movie, reports Deadline.

No title or plot details have been released yet for Allen's next film, although it will be produced by Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson.

Posey previously appeared in Allen's Irrational Man with Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix.

She is also known for roles in The House of Yes, Party Girl and Superman Returns.

Watch a trailer for Irrational Man below:...

After taking on a key role in Irrational Man opposite Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, Parker Posey is in final negotiations to reteam with Woody Allen for the veteran helmer’s next feature.

Posey will join a cast that already includes Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Bruce Willis. As is typical for an Allen joint, casting has been under way for months, even with Irrational Man only opening in theaters this month.

The prolific director has been putting out a movie a year for some time now, and this next one doesn’t seem to be shaping up any differently. Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson are all again involved as producers.

There are no details about the pilot of the film, which does not even have a title. Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson will produce the film. Also joining the cast is Bruce Willis.

Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Stewart [...]

The post Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart Join Woody Allen’s Next Film appeared first on Up and Comers.

Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have signed on to star in an Untitled Woody Allen Comedy. As is the case with most Woody Allen movies, no plot details were given. As Deadline points out, Woody Allen is one of the few directors who doesn't show a script to the actors he's courting, since everybody wants to work with him if they are available.

The project will reunite Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart for the third time. They first starred in the 2009 comedy Adventureland together, and they will next be seen in American Ultra, which debuts later this year although a release date has not been given yet. Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have never worked with Bruce Willis before, and this will also be Bruce Willis' first Woody Allen movie.

Woody Allen will direct from his own screenplay, with the director's longtime collaborators Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson producing.

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg are being tipped to star in Woody Allen's next movie.

The duo will be directed alongside Bruce Willis in the Academy Award-winning filmmaker's 2016 film project if final negotiations are completed.

The project will be produced by Allen's younger sister Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson, reports Deadline.

No storyline details have been announced for the untitled movie yet.

Eisenberg previously worked with Allen on the director's 2012 romantic comedy To Rome with Love. Eisenberg and Stewart also worked together on the critically-acclaimed 2009 comedy Adventureland.

Stewart recently became the first American actress to win a French Cesar Award for her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria.

Allen's forthcoming Irrational Man is scheduled to premiere late in the year. Joaquin Phoenix has the lead role in the movie as a university professor who begins a torrid love affair with a student (Emma Stone).

Jesse Eisenberg, Bruce Willis and Kristen Stewart have come aboard Woody Allen's next film. Title and plot details remain unknown, but the film is being produced per usual by Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson. As always, Allen is otherwise keeping quiet about the project. Stewart recently became the first American actress to win a Cesar award, the French equivalent of the Oscar. Is the erstwhile "Twilight" star turned aspiring indie darling Allen's next muse?  Allen also has "Irrational Man," starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, coming up, which will be released by Sony Pictures Classics -- the distributor that pushed "Blue Jasmine" to a Best Actress Oscar win for Cate Blanchett -- on July 24th. There is also his upcoming Amazon series. Read More: Woody Allen Is Creating His First TV Series for Amazon...

Woody Allen is casting Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg and Bruce Willis in his next movie, which is expected to shoot this summer, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap. The film doesn’t have a title yet, but it will be produced by Allen’s usual collaborators, Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson. Also Read: Kristen Stewart to Play a Lawyer-Turned-Teacher in Kelly Reichardt’s New Drama Plot details remain as mysterious as a Manhattan murder, though it will be the third feature starring Eisenberg and Stewart, who previously worked together on “Adventureland” and Nima Nourizadeh’s upcoming “American Ultra.

Along with Quentin Tarantino, New York filmmaker Woody Allen is responsible for reigniting the careers of many actors with his quirky, neurotic brand of dramedy. The prolific writer-director has churned out one feature a year for decades, each honing in on a particular aspect of the human condition brought to life through his talent-packed ensembles. While at times his output veers wildly from critical smash to critical flop, that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to attract a wealth of Hollywood big hitters.

Now, his stellar track record for A-listers looks to continues with his next flick, which will boast Bruce Willis, Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart as part of its starry line-up. Specific details of the movie are being kept strictly under wraps, with only producer credits being revealed. Allen’s long-serving team of producers, Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson, will reprise their familiar roles alongside the helmer,...

American Ultra stars Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg will be reunited later this year in another project: Woody Allen's next as yet untitled feature. Bruce Willis is the third cast member whose name has been publicly announced. The source for this information is an "exclusive" report via Deadline.com's Mike Fleming Jr. So far, as Fleming explains in his brief piece, Woody Allen and "his people" haven't confirmed the casting. In other words, things could change in the not-too-distant future. See also: Kristen Stewart Joins Kelly Reichardt Movie Project, also featuring Laura Dern and Michelle Williams. Unsurprisingly, no plot details about the upcoming Woody Allen project have been forthcoming. In fact, one wonders if Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, and Bruce Willis – in case they have indeed joined the fold – know what the movie is going to be about. Allen's latest collaborators – Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson – will be producing the film.

Exclusive: Woody Allen has begun casting his 2015 feature film, and he has set Jesse Eisenberg, Bruce Willis and Kristen Stewart to lead the ensemble, I’m told. No comment from the Allen camp. As usual, the film is untitled and there are no plot details, and it’s being produced by Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson, his usual collaborators.

Sony Pictures Classics, as expected, have acquired all North American rights to Woody Allen’s upcoming film, "Irrational Man," from Gravier Productions. Both partners prefer to screen the film for the buyer before they seal their usual deal. "Sony Classics and I have a good working relationship," said Woody Allen.

Plenty of groups give out awards for excellence in film and television at the end of every year, but no set of nominations is watched more carefully by Oscar predictors than the picks from the Producers Guild. That’s because year after year their choices end up being a fairly good indicator of which films will also be granted Best Picture nominations when the Academy makes their selections.

The Guild has announced their 2014 nominations today and there aren’t really any major surprises here. All the expected films are present, including 12 Years A Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Gravity, Her and The Wolf Of Wall Street. Animated films that nabbed nominations are The Croods, Despicable Me 2, Epic, Frozen and Monsters University.

The Producers Guild of America has announced the nominees for the 25th annual PGA Awards. In the movie category, the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis" and the awards hopefuls from the Weinstein Company were ignored -- no "August: Osage County," "Fruitvale Station" (darn!), "Philomena" (another darn), "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," and "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
