‘Wonder Wheel’: New Images & Official Synopsis Revealed For Woody Allen’s Latest

Woody Allen can only keep the curtain on his upcoming “Wonder Wheel” on the picture for so long, and with a splashy New York Film Festival premiere looming, along with an awards season release date, we’ve just got out best look yet outside of a trailer (which we presume is coming soon).

So far, all we’ve known about the picture is that it stars Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, Juno Temple and James Belushi, in a 1950s set story, and will feature larger-than-life characters, lovers, infidelity, and gangsters. Now we have a few more details from the official synopsis, which doesn’t so much give up the story, as introduce us the characters around which it will orbit:

WONDER WHEEL tells the story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny (Kate Winslet),  an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro captures a tale of passion, violence, and betrayal that plays out against the picturesque tableau of 1950s Coney Island.

“Wonder Woman” opens on December 1st. Check out the new images from the film below.
