After heading back to America for Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen is now continuing his European phase with the romantic comedy drama Magic In The Moonlight. We saw the first trailer a month or so ago, and now here's a slew of new stills, showcasing stars Colin Firth and Emma Stone.
Firth stars as stage magician Stanley (check out the Chung Ling Soo garb!) dispatched to the south of France to help his family with an intriguing puzzle. A young woman named Sophie (Stone), who claims to be a psychic, is bewitching, bewildering and bothersome in equal measure. Firth is convinced he can help, but then he meets her and discovers that she might not be as fake as some suspect.
Allen is back exploring themes of duplicity, charm and romance, all couched in the beautiful French countryside. Alongside Firth and Stone, he’s recruited Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Eileen Atkins, Hamish Linklater, Simon McBurney and Ute Lemper to bolster the cast.
Shooting is complete, and Allen is already on to the currently untitled next one, this time pairing his new muse Stone with Joaquin Phoenix. Magic In The Moonlight gets a limited release in the States on July 25. In the UK, we have to wait until September 19.{Magic In The Moonlight Stills}
