Woody Allen Changes His Travel Stripes
Just because you're in love doesn't mean you have to be exclusive. Director Woody Allen, after a long affair with the Big Apple, packed himself and his children off to Barcelona this week to start working on his new movie, which will be set in the Catalan city and co-stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. (Those two haven't shared screen time since 1992's "Jamón, jamón," in which he seduces her beneath a statue of a giant bull. Is there anything more Spanish?)
Allen had set nearly all of his movies until the 1990s in New York City, when he occasionally considered other American cities (such as Hollywood in "Celebrity"). But after 2005's "Match Point," set mostly in the tony Belgravia neighborhood of London, got stellar reviews, Allen made his next two movies (2006's "Scoop" and the forthcoming "Cassandra's Dream," starring Ewan McGregor) across the pond. Thus proving you're never too old to start traveling overseas. But will his new movie focus on romantic Barcelona, a la 2003's "L'auberge Espagnole," or the gothic Barcelona of this year's "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"?
