(Damn, she actually won the Cesar Award! https://www.yahoo.com/movies/kristen-stewart-wins-supporting-actress-honor-at-111605346497.html)
Kristen Stewart is set to star in an untitled Woody Allen movie, alongside her Adventureland and American Ultra co-star Jesse Eisenberg and Bruce Willis. A source close to Allen confirms to Gossip Cop that all three stars have been cast.
No plot details or shooting schedule for the project have been disclosed. Eisenberg previously worked with Allen on To Rome With Love. Neither Stewart nor Willis has previously worked with the prolific director. Allen, who typically makes a movie every year, is set to release his next film, Irrational Man with Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix, in July.
Stewart is in the midst of a busy run, having recently picked up a Cesar Award honor for her work in Clouds of Sils Maria, appearing with Oscar winner Julianne Moore in Still Alice, and finishing up yet-to-be-released titles Equals and American Ultra. Eisenberg will star as Lex Luthor in the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Are you excited about the prospective casting for the new Woody Allen movie? Did you like his recent movies, such as Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine?

(73,631 posts)Some of it was quite funny, especially the slapstick. But he hasn't made a decent movie in a very long time.
But, just yesterday I watched Blue Jasmine and I didn't laugh once throughout the entire movie. Basically he has this formulae of using characters as a proxy for his own insecurity and neuroses. How many times are we going to see that again?
It's gotten tedious, boring and quite unfunny.
Also, his movies tend to be quite monochromatic. He can take multicultural settings like New York and San Francisco and turn them into places that are only inhabited by white people.
Sorry, Woody, it's over.

I don't get the impression that his name is the one promoting his movies.

(100,085 posts)I hear that both Jesse Eisenberg and Bruce Willis are incredibly difficult to work with, and Kevin Smith said he was extremely uncooperative on Cop Out (although to be fair, Cop Out was a pretty shitty movie to begin with)..

So I can't enjoy Allen's movies anymore than Bill Cosby's TV.
