Kate Winslet’s Wonder Wheel Performance Looks Like a Major Awards Contender

Woody Allen is set to deliver another aesthetically pleasing period piece, but this one looks a lot darker than his usual fare. The trailer for Amazon Studios’ Wonder Wheel debuted today and it takes an intense turn.

Kate Winslet leads the film as Ginny, a waitress in Coney Island. Jim Belushi plays her husband, Humpty, who operates the amusement park carousel, but their relationship is not nearly as cheery as their surroundings.

Woody Allen’s Wonder Wheel Gets Release Date

Woody Allen’s new film Wonder Wheel, a drama set during the 1950s in Coney Island,will hit theaters this December 1. The cast includes Jim Belushi, Juno Temple, Justin Timberlake, and Kate Winslet.
