The Tracking Board is reporting that Woody Allen has offered Elle Fanning (The Beguiled) and Timothee Chalamet (Miss Stevens) two of the three lead roles in his next film, the plot of which remains tightly under wraps.
Chalamet has been earning rave reviews for his role in the Sundance drama Call me By Your Name, and has recently finished work on Scott Cooper’s Hostiles, Beautiful Boy opposite Steve Carell, and Lady Bird, the directorial debut of Greta Gerwig. Fanning has also been busy of late, with How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Sidney Hall, Mary Shelley, Galveston and I Think We’re Alone Now all in the can.
Allen’s most recent film Wonder Wheel is set for release this December, and stars Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, Juno Temple and Jim Belushi. You can check out some first look images here.
