Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg star in new Woody Allen film

Stars line up for Woody Allen … Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg

Woody Allen’s hold over Hollywood’s casting directors appears as strong as ever, as Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have all signed up to appear in his next project, which is due to begin shooting later this year.

Eisenberg is a repeat collaborator, having already featured in the 2012 ensemble movie To Rome With Love, but Willis and Stewart will be making their first Allen. film. However, Willis will not be entirely unfamiliar with the director’s working methods as his then wife Demi Moore appeared in 1997 film Deconstructing Harry.

As is customary, no details or title have been announced for the new film, which is due to be produced by Allen’s regular partners: his sister Letty Aronson, agent Stephen Tenenbaum (who has worked on 15 Allen films) and cable-TV tycoon Edward Walson.

Allen is readying his current project Irrational Man, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as an academic who has an affair with a student (Emma Stone), for release in July 2015. Allen also signed up to make an as-yet-unspecified TV series for Amazon Prime, due to be available in 2016. It is not clear if his commitment to Amazon will affect his regular film-a-year schedule.
