Woody Allen to direct new film, tie new cast of actors in moral knots
The 90-year-old filmmaker is set to start filming in Spain this October.
Woody Allen, the 90-year-old director, is set to return to the silver screen with a new film, according to Deadline. The project, currently untitled, will be filmed in Madrid, Spain, where the city will serve as the backdrop, having previously appeared in Allen's films Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) and Rifkin’s Festival (2021).
The Spanish government has committed to funding $1.7 million for the production, although this amount is significantly lower than the initially reported $14 million needed for a largely English-language production. Allen and his producers are currently seeking additional funding.
Details about the film's plot and cast remain undisclosed, with the only hint being that the list of actors involved is "high-profile." The financial agreement between Allen and the Madrid regional government stipulates that the film must be shot in Madrid and include the city's name in the title. Rumor has it that a fitting title for the film might be "Madrid Follies."
