Banderas Joins Woody Allen's Next Film, Alongside Hopkins, Brolin, Watts & Pinto

Antonio Banderas has just been signed to appear in Woody Allen's next film according to Hollywood Reporter.

Banderas joins quite the international cast including Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, and Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto.

The film, which is set to start shooting in London this summer has no announced title, or plot, as is usual with Woody Allen's films.

Although Nine marks Banderas' only Broadway appearance to date, he appeared as Che in the film version of Evita and was also in the running to play the title role in the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera (before it went to Gerard Butler). A film star in his native Spain before coming to America, he has acted in such films as Desperado, Original Sin, Femme Fatate, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Frida, Shrek 2, and the Spy Kids movies, as well as in the HBO film "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself."
