MUMBAI: Following up this year‘s Cannes Palme d‘Or win for The White Ribbon, Michael Haneke is already drafting his next project. The director is working on an untitled script about humiliation and the physical deterioration of the aged.

Although French media have reported that Isabelle Huppert and Jean-Louis Trintignant will star in the film, the production house says that the casting is not confirmed as yet.

Huppert, who presided over the jury that handed Haneke the Palme d‘Or last May, had previously worked with Haneke in 2003‘s The Time Of The Wolf and in 2002‘s multi-award winning The Piano Teacher.

Trintignant‘s was last seen in Patrice Chereau‘s Cesar-awarded Those Who Love Me Can Take The Train in 1998.
The White Ribbon will be released by Sony Pictures Classics in the US.
