With the likes of Manchester By The Sea, Amazon has shown that they can produce some interesting films. Now they’re teaming with Woody Allen for his next movie, Wonder Wheel, which is due to premiere soon at the New York Film Festival, before getting an Oscar-friendly December 1st, 2017 US release.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Four peoples’ lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny, an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty, Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey, a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina, Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment.’
Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, Jim Belushi, and Juno Temple star in the film. You can take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Ken Stott
Even when Woody Allen doesn’t star in his own movies, there tends to be a stand-in for him, and it has to be said, he’s picked a good on for Cafe Society in the form of Jesse Eisenberg. Re-teaming him with the often wooden Kristen Stewart may not have been as good an idea, but we will see.
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Parker Posey, Jamie Blackley
