Todd Field will team with Oscar winner Cate Blanchett on “TAR,” which Field also wrote.

Details are being shrouded in secrecy, but production will begin in the fall.

Field hasn’t directed a movie since 2006’s “Little Children,” but in that 15-year break he has been linked to several projects. The list of might-have-beens includes “The Creed of Violence,” which was set to star Daniel Craig, and “America’s Last Prisoner of War,” an adaptation of a Michael Hastings’ article that he abandoned. At this point Field’s absence from the director’s chair is rivaling the likes of Terrence Malick for longest breaks between pictures.

Blanchett will next appear in Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” opposite Bradley Cooper and Rooney Mara.(SD-Agencies)
