About a month ago, a handful of names were announced for Woody Allen‘s upcoming project Midnight in Paris, which included, among a few others, Marion Cotillard, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Sheen; today, Allen confirmed those reports.
/Film has directed us to the official press release which includes the entire cast and a brief plot synopsis for the film, which will shoot this summer in Paris. And, as if you needed another reminder, Allen‘s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, which received somewhat negative reviews at Cannes, will be released by Sony Pictures Classics this fall.
Here is the press release in its entirety:
WOODY ALLEN ANNOUNCES FULL CAST OF “MIDNIGHT IN PARIS”
New York (May 25, 2010) – Woody Allen announced today the full cast for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, his latest film in pre-production.

Co-starring in the film, in alphabetical order, are: Nina Arianda, Kurt Fuller, Tom Hiddleston, Mimi Kennedy, Alison Pill and Corey Stoll. The film shoots this summer in Paris.
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is a romantic comedy that follows a family travelling to the city for business. The party includes a young engaged couple that has their lives transformed throughout the journey. The film celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is produced by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures. It is part of a three-picture financing deal between Allen’s Gravier Productions and Mediapro, the Spain-based company which also funded Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and the upcoming “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” to be released domestically by Sony Pictures Classics this fall. Imagina International Sales is handling international sales for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS for most territories.
