Think done: Kate Winslet part of Woody Allen’s next

Actor in final negotiations for yet-to-be-titled film

Woody Allen’s latest film, Café Society, hasn’t hit theatres yet, but the iconic film-maker is already moving on to his next project.

Actor Kate Winslet is in final negotiations to star in Allen’s next movie, for which shooting will begin in the fall, reported Variety.

Allen is writing, directing and producing the yet-to-be-titled film, and like all his recent films, plot details are being heavily guarded.

As usual, Letty Aronson 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 Titanic star has never worked with the auteur prior to this movie.

Winslet is coming off her Oscar-nominated role in Steve Jobs and was also recently seen in Open Road’s crime drama Triple 9. The actor just wrapped production on New Line’s Collateral Beauty opposite Will Smith and recently boarded the drama The Mountain Between Us, co-starring Idris Elba.

Allen’s Café Society, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, bowed at the recent Cannes Film Festival and opens in theatres on July 16.
