Woody Allen has announced the title for his new film: Magic in the Moonlight. Previously listed, as is traditional for Allen films, as Untitled Woody Allen Project 2014, Magic in the Moonlight is Allen's 47th film as director, and follows the acclaimed Blue Jasmine which has been picking up stellar reviews and significant box-office.

As is also customary, details of Magic in the Moonlight are thin on the ground, though it has finished shooting in the south of France and is currently in postproduction. An extensive cast list has been previously revealed, including Colin Firth, Eileen Atkins, Downton Abbey's Marcia Gay Harden, Theatre de Complicté's Simon McBurney, Emma Stone and Jacki Weaver.

The plot has been described as a romantic comedy taking place over two decades, in the 1920s and 30s - the latter, at least, has been confirmed by the release of two production stills that show Firth, Stone and Harden in period garb.

Magic in the Moonlight is due for release in 2014.
