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.
