Is Woody Allen looking for a new muse? The Oscar-winning director, whose last few flicks have featured Scarlett Johansson, is trying to court another Hollywood heavyweight and fellow Oscar winner for his films – Reese Witherspoon.

“Woody Allen is dying to work with Reese Witherspoon on a comedy or on a drama,” a source tells OK!. “He’s a huge fan of her work. He would cast her in a heartbeat.”

Sounds like an open invitation, Reese.

Currently, the 71-year-old has no new projects on his plate. His features Cassandra’s Dream and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the latter starring Scarlett, are due to open wide next year. Reese, 31, can currently be seen with beau Jake Gyllenhaal in Rendition.
