One of the world's greatest actors has signed on to work with one of the world's greatest directors. Variety reports that Cate Blanchett�will star in out Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language feature film, "A Manual for Cleaning Women."

"The film is an adaptation of Lucia Berlin's short story collection of the same name, which includes 43 stories about women in multiple types of demanding jobs," the outlet writes, adding that the project is early stages of development.

Both have won two Oscars (Blanchett for "The Aviator" and "Blue Jasmine;" Almodóvar for "All About My Mother" and "Talk to Her"). Blanchett is in talks for Oscar nominations this year for her roles supporting roles in "Nightmare Alley" and "Don't Look Up."

In addition to "Manual," Blanchett currently has three additional films that are expected to be released in 2022 – Todd Field's "TÁR," Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson's "Pinocchio" and Eli Roth's "Borderland."

In speaking to Variety last month, Almodóvar talked about his new project.

"We're in the midst of working on this film "A Manual for Cleaning Women," but it's still to be seen whether it's going to be the next film. It should be the next film, but I can't say with certainty. It would be, in fact, my first feature film that will be in full English."
