Woody Allen’s latest film, Cafe Society, hasn’t hit theaters yet, but the filmmaker is already moving on to his next project.
Sources tell Variety that Kate Winslet is in final negotiations to star in Allen’s next movie, which will shoot this fall.
Allen is writing, directing and producing the untitled pic, and like all his recent films, plot details are being heavily guarded.
As usual, Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson will produce. The film hasn’t found a distributor yet, although Amazon seems to be a likely destination, given Allen’s recent relationship with the studio.
Though Winslet’s career has spanned more than two decades, the actress has never worked with the auteur prior to this pic.
Winslet is coming off her Oscar-nominated role in Steve Jobs and was also recently seen in Open Road’s crime drama Triple Nine. She just wrapped production on New Line’s Collateral Beauty opposite Will Smith and recently boarded the Fox drama The Mountain Between Us, co-starring Idris Elba.
She is repped by CAA and United Agents.
Allen’s Cafe Society, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, bowed at the Cannes Film Festival and opens in theaters on July 16.
