Woody Allen has released the full cast list for his latest film set in Rome called "Bop Decameron."
According to Variety, Allen will also act in the film, his first appearance since 2006's "Scoop."
The rest of the cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, Roberto Benigni and Alison Pill.
Riccardo Scamarcio, Isabella Ferrari, Sergio Rubini, Antonio Albanese, Fabio Armiliata, Alessandra Mastronardi, Ornella Muti, Flavio Parenti and Alessandro Tiberi also star.
The film will be set in present-day Rome but is inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron," a classic medieval collection of 100 crude novellas written in the 1350s.
There will be four separate, non-intersecting vignettes with two involving American characters and two involving Italian characters.
Shooting begins July 11 in Rome.
Letty Aronson is producing with Stephen Tenenbaum and Helen Robin.
Allen's current film, "Midnight in Paris," opened at the Cannes Film Festival and is now playing.
