Sarah Polley will take charge of Seth Rogen in her next directorial venture, according to Deadline Hollywood, a blog that is rarely wrong about these things. Michelle Williams will also feature in the film.

Deadline says it has learned that Polley has secured the financing to direct her script Take This Waltz, which will feature Rogen and Williams in a romantic triangle and that Polley will choose another actor shortly to round out the cast. The script apparently made the most recent Black List of 2009’s best unproduced screenplays (The Black List is a list compiled by movie industry folks of the best screenplays not produced during a given year and released by Franklin Leonard) .

The Canadian Polley, 31, starred in the film The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen, as a child in 1988, and in her teens was best known (on home turf anyway) for her role as Sara Stanley on CBC television’s Road to Avonlea. She made her directorial debut with 2006’s Away From Her, which starred Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie as a married couple struggling to deal as Christie’s character develops Alzheimer’s disease. The film earned a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination.

Polley’s latest acting venture, Splice, screened at Sundance, as did Blue Valentine, featuring Michelle Williams.

Williams will next be seen in the Martin Scorsese-directed Shutter Island. Among Seth Rogen’s projects are The Green Hornet and Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom and Doom.
