Since his 1994 debut, Little Odessa, filmmaker James Gray has been sparse with output. It took six years for him to deliver his follow-up, The Yards, and another seven years to give us We Own the Night, which premiered earlier this year at Cannes and opens in theaters on October 12. However, there won’t be such a long wait for Gray’s fourth film; titled Two Lovers, the film begins shooting in November with Gray regular Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow. Two Lovers marks a third collaboration with Phoenix, who starred in both The Yards and We Own the Night. If there’s a part somewhere for Mark Wahlberg, it could be a perfect reunion.

According to Variety, Two Lovers will star Phoenix as a Brooklyn man torn between two women. There’s the family friend who his parents are trying to set him up with, and then there’s the beautiful new neighbor who he prefers and with whom he falls in love. I’m going to go ahead and guess that Paltrow is being cast as the neighbor.
