Penélope Cruz is likely to team up again with Pedro Almodovar for a forthcoming film.

She has been nominated for an Oscar for her role in his most recent movie Volver.

La Piel que habito is likely to be Almodovar's next release, reports Variety.com

It's about a plastic surgeon who avenges his daughter's rapists.

Almodovar's brother Agustin said Cruz's role in the new Spanish-language film would be a much darker one.

"It's 70%-80% certain to be Pedro's next," said Agustin Almodovar.

"But Pedro always works on several ideas at the same time, and he has a second screenplay on the go as well."
