Sony Pictures Classics No ‘Stranger’ to Woody Allen

You can be sure that the Sony Pictures Classics folks aren’t looking at receipts for Woody Allen’s last film, Whatever Works to gauge the potential return for his next picture. With romantic entanglements between Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto and Naomi Watts, SPC will have a lot more ease in marketing this film – which they’ve already set as a domestic fall release. The croisette-bound film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems. The red carpet in Cannes will also be seeing the faces of Anna Friel, Lucy Punch, Christian McKay, Gemma Jones and Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife Carla Bruni are supporting players in the pic.
