Freida Pinto, straight off her success and national exposure at the 81st Academy Awards from Slumdog Millionaire, has been cast by Woody Allen for his next film, which is of present time still untitled.  She will join an all-star cast composing of several Oscar nominees and winners on the project.

Naomi Watts has also signed on to star in the film, joining the already-announced Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins.

Mediapro, the Spain-based company behind “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” is financing the as-yet-titled pic, which will be produced by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures.

Pinto seemingly has a very bright future in front of her and was amazing as Latika in Slumdog Millionaire.
