We Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger













Woody Allen has two movies in the pipeline. You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is set for widescreen release this fall, and Midnight in Paris is in process for next year. A strong cast will enrich both of them. Allen continues to inspire big gun actors, which speaks strongly of his international standing. In Stranger, Josh Brolin plays a floundering novelist, but why take my word for it? There's a detailed press kit available via the official website here: http://www.sonyclassics.com/youwillmeetatalldarkstranger/










And at least as of now, Oscar winner Marion Cotillard is set for a role in Midnight in Paris. As far as I'm concerned, she and Penélope Cruz have supplanted Angelina Jolie as the preeminent working movie stars of our time, mostly because of their professional choices and performances. 

Today's Rune: Strength.   Above: Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal / Det sjunde inseglet (1957).  Antonius Block (Max von Sydow) plays chess with Death  (Bengt Ekerot).

We may have to agree to disagree on Woody Allen. I've never been able to make it through one of his movies.

Ms. Cotillard was excellent as John Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette in "Public Enemies."
