As is the case year by year with Woody Allen films, details are generally scant at first. But really, as much as we love the guy, the general stories of his films are never a big surprise by this point and such is the case with the newly revealed synopsis for “You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger.” You can read the barebones studio-supplied description below:
“A little romance, some sex, some treachery and apart from that, a few laughs. The lives of a group of people whose passions, ambitions and anxieties force them all into assorted troubles that run the gamut from ludicrous to dangerous.”
Allen described the film as “being amusing and also serious,” so you can expect the sort of mixed moods that Allen often employs. In addition to Watts and Brolin, the London-set film features Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch, and Anna Friel. ‘Stranger’ is slated for a September 23rd release date with a rumored Cannes premiere.
Some fresh images have also popped up at Sony Picture’s Classics official page, as well as on the MediaPro Facebook page for the film. What do they tell us about ‘Stranger?’ Not much, except that we can’t wait to see it.
