Is Owen Wilson becoming Woody Allen’s new muse?

Owen Wilson is attached to star in the new Woody Allen movie that will shoot this summer.
As with all the writer-director’s film work, Allen is keeping the untitled feature’s story line and characters hush-hush, and it’s not clear how big Wilson’s role is. In November, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, France’s first lady, mentioned that Allen had seduced her into taking a role in the film, though the writer-director’s camp would not confirm.
Spain’s Imagina is selling the new project in Cannes.
The UTA-repped Wilson most recently voiced a supporting role in Wes Anderson’s animated “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” The actor has also voiced the title role in the Fox comedy “Marmaduke,” which hits theaters in June.
Beyond that, Wilson will appear in two December releases: James L. Brooks’ untitled project for Sony and the “Meet the Fockers” sequel coming from Universal.
Allen’s next film, “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,” stars Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto and Lucy Punch. Its Spanish producer, Mediapro, has a September release scheduled. Allen’s previous film, “Whatever Works,” came out last June.
