Does Woody Allen ever sleep? Sony Pictures just released a still from the filmmaker’s 46th feature film, to be released later this year.
“Blue Jasmine” will star Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay, Bobby Cannavale, Sally Hawkins, Peter Sarsgaard and Michael Stuhlbarg, in a film about “the final stages of an acute crisis and a life of a fashionable New York housewife.”
Neurosis? Check. Damaged female lead? Check. New York? Check. Sounds like classic Woody.
“Blue Jasmine” will open in New York and LA on July 26.
Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
