Woody Allen's Next Titled 'Blue Jasmine,' Adds Michael Stuhlbarg

Briefly: Woody Allen continues to work at a pace that other directors can only dream of. He's following To Rome With Love with a new film that stars Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, Bobby Cannavale, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay, Sally Hawkins, Peter Sarsgaard and now Michael Stuhlbarg. And now the movie has a title, Blue Jasmine, and a distribution deal with Allen's regular partner Sony Pictures Classics.

Allen scripted (of course) and the film follows "the final stages of an acute crisis and a life of a fashionable New York housewife." In form typical to the director, that's just about all we know beyond the cast roster. We do know the film will shoot in the US, making it the director's first film at home since the 2009 release Whatever Works. The fact that this will be Allen's fourth movie since that picture came out is a testament to his wonderfully relentless work habit.
