* Noah Baumbach's invigorating Frances Ha rolls into theaters nationwide tomorrow, but he's also busy assembling the cast for his long-developing While We're Young. Reuniting with his Greenberg star Ben Stiller, along with Adam Driver (Girls) and Naomi Watts, Baumbach has now added Amanda Seyfried. The film follows an older couple who are inspired to "loosen up" by a younger, carefree couple, obviously comprised of Driver and Seyfried. The plan is for filming to take place this fall.
* So much for that retirement, eh? Ok, so maybe he only meant feature films. Steven Soderbergh will direct every episode of Cinemax's 10-episode TV series, The Knick, starring Clive Owen. The show sounds pretty awesome, set in the 1900s at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York City, where the surgeons, nurses, and staff push the boundaries of modern medicine at a time when mortality rates were ridiculously high. Soderbergh's final film, Behind the Candelabra, airs on HBO this Sunday.[Deadline]
* Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) has replaced John Crowley as the director of Carol, marking his first big screen effort in six years. Starring Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska, the film is based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, The Price of Salt, set in the 1950s and centering on the lesbian relationship between a bored housewife and her young lover. Haynes has been keeping busy, recently directing the Emmy award-winning Mildred Pierce for HBO.
