Woody Allen is in the south of France, working on his 2014 film.

A very brief Woodywatch: Woody Allen is in France to make a new film, but in sticking to his reasonable hours, he is taking the odd day off. On the weekend, Allen and wife Soon-Yi Previn took a boat ride in the town of St Tropez in the south of France. Not much news, and […]
