Now these could be funny, maybe

Woody Allen seems to have found a new muse (his first post-Mia?). Scarlett Johansson is set to star in her second consecutive Woody pic. Their first collaboration, Match Point, will premiere out of competition next month at Cannes. This could be an interesting development, Scarlett has significant comedic and dramatic skills, but only if Woody has actually started writing and directing good movies again.

And

Jennifer Connelly is in the mix for Todd Field's adaptation of Tom Perrotta's novel Little Children. The suburban sexual satire already has Kate Winslet in the cast and an extremely intriguing group of characters. I'm not sure how the director of In the Bedroom will do with comedy, but having the author of Election co-writing the script from his own highly praised novel should help.
