Exciting news for Polley fans...

Deadline.com is reporting that Seth Rogen and Michelle Williams have signed on to star in Sarah Polley's latest film effort, the romantic endeavour Take This Waltz. Titled (it would seem) after the Leonard Cohen song of the same name, the script examines the life of a young woman coming to the realization that her infidelities and relationship troubles may be rooted in an addiction to "the honeymoon period" of relationships.

Nominated for an Oscar for "Best Adapted Screenplay" for her work on 2006's Away From Her, this script has earned her a place on the 2009 Black List ("a snapshot of the collective taste of the people who develop, produce, and release theatrical feature films in the Hollywood studio system and the mainstream independent system"). Though still in the final stages of financing the film is set to be produced in Toronto this summer and I, for one, am looking forward to what Ms. Polley has in store.
