Woody Allen Signs Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg for Next Movie

Woody Allen is working his magic again. Recent reports have confirmed that Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have officially signed on for his next film. As is his usual practice, the film is still untitled, with no plot details in sight.

According to The Guardian, the three stars were quick to say yes even without plot details just because it is the acclaimed director who approached them for the film. Of the three, only Eisenberg has worked with Allen. They previously worked together in the 2012 film "To Rome with Love."

It will be a first time for both Stewart and Willis. The film will reunite Eisenberg and Stewart, who had previously starred in the 2008 romantic comedy "Adventureland." Stewart, according to another report in Paste Magazine, was supposedly singled out by Allen because of her success in the "Twilight" saga.

Allen will be working with his usual partners: his sister Letty Aronson, agent Stephen Tenenbaum (who has worked on 15 Allen films) and cable-TV tycoon Edward Walson.

The director is currently working on a romantic comedy called "Irrational Man" starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. The film is set to be released on July 24 and will be about a teacher-student relationship.

Allen is also considered to be one of Hollywood's most prolific directors. Paste Magazine cites that he has managed to come up with one film a year since 1982. He also has an uncanny ability to "to direct many actors to Oscar nominations and wins," which is likely the reason why he gets actors to sign on immediately.

This recent news however comes at a time when he is also working on a still unnamed TV series with Amazon which is set to be aired sometime 2016. Some reports are speculating whether this will be a factor in his one-film-a-year target.
