    Previously, the Oscar-winning director had said his next film would be "El Piel Que Habito."

    Almodovar, always reluctant to give details about his films in advance, said "Broken Hugs" tells of a "crazy love." It also stars Blanca Portillo and Lluis Homar.

    "As for Penelope, I'm going to delve into one of her little-known facets," Almodovar said of the actress, who received an Oscar nomination for her lead role in his most recent film, "Volver." "This won't be a comedy, but humor will be present."

    He said he would start work in January. The script, he added, is his longest ever.
