All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
On 1st December 2012, Woody Allen turns 77. To celebrate, we tried to find the earliest video of Woody Allen we could find on YouTube. We think it could be this one – Woody Allen performing a stand-up set on the Jack Paar Show – 14th December 1962 – almost 50 years ago. It’s amazing […]
John Turturro‘s new comedy Fading Gigolo, which stars Woody Allen, continued filming this past week in New York City. This week we got our first glimpse at two stars who have been billed from the start – Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara. Both appeared at the Carlyle Hotel in NYC this week. We know that […]
Woody Allen returns to modern day NYC for the first time since Manhattan with Hannah And Her Sisters is one of Woody Allen’s most loved films. A sprawling, rambling tale of three sisters who live in New York, and the lives they lead. It is little more than that – but the charm and flair […]
It’s Thanksgiving, and we agree with IFC when they say that the very best film about the holiday is Hannah And Her Sisters. The film is bookended by Thanksgivings as we follow the lives of this large crazy family. So this week we thought we’d go with our favourite scene from ‘Hannah And Her Sisters‘. […]
Liev Schrieber got a visit from his son Alexander on the set of Fading Gigolo this week. We also got our first glimpse of him in full Hasidic Jew get up. Schrieber brought some of his physicality to the scene, stopping a fight after a car accident, restraining a man with a baseball bat and […]
LOCO Film Festival are an organisation that supports and promotes comedy in British film. But this year, they’ve found time to celebrate Woody Allen, and are holding the first ever Woodystock at Hackney Picturehouse in London. A night of film, comedy, readings and music, it will be held on December 1 – Woody Allen’s 77th […]
The Purple Rose Of Cairo holds a special place in Woody Allen’s filmography. It is Woody Allen’s own favourite of his films, whilst he consistently rags on just about every other one. Even now, he claims it is the film that is closest to his original vision. From it, we can see what it is […]
Woody Allen: A Documentary, directed by Bob Weide, was first shown on the PBS channel in the US in November 2011. A year later, a theatrical version is still rolling out across the world. The latest country to show to film is Japan, whose major papers have reviewed the film. Giovanni Fazio of The Japan […]
Stephen Merchant and Olivia Munn were the surprise stars of director Jason Reitman‘s latest ‘live read’, this time of Woody Allen’s Manhattan. These live reads are a regular event where Reitman assembles actors to perform a script of a classic film, live on stage. When Manhattan was announced last week, the two leads were kept […]
Update! It seems a racist, anti-Jewish website has linked to this page because of the image of Liev Schreiber. Can I just say, hi you racists. Fuck you and your small cocks that make you so angry at things you don’t understand. Go die! Bless. Fading Gigolo, the new film from John Turturro, starring Woody […]
Let’s face it – we adore Sally Hawkins. Her starring roles in Mike Leigh‘s ‘Happy-Go-Lucky‘ and Nigel Cole‘s ‘Made In Dagenham‘ were both fantastic, and we can’t wait to see her in the 2013 Woody Allen film. She previously worked with Allen in Cassandra’s Dream. We’ve covered some of her recent press about Woody, as […]
Our twice monthly wrap up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. Greta Gerwig, who starred in To Rome With Love, has been talking Woody Allen again. She’s out promoting ‘Lola Versus‘, and told Style.com about working with Allen. Being chosen by Woody Allen, it’s like being chosen by God! She also evoked Allen […]
We are doing our best to constantly update what this site does, and try new things. We also try to be transparent about these things, as we basically stole the ideas from others anyway. So here’s what’s new with us. We’ve started galleries on our Facebook page. At the moment we are concentrating on Behind […]
Broadway Danny Rose marks the end of Allen’s fascination with European cinema, and marks a film that is very much his own. It’s a small story – and a short one – but Allen’s story is full of heart and he creates two of his best characters. It also marks the first knockout performance by […]
Sally Hawkins has been in the press promoting her appearance in the West End play ‘Constellations‘. The press have been asking her about Allen, and what it was like to work with him on the upcoming, still untitled 2013 film. She told the Irish Independent, on Allen: I just adore him, he’s lovely. But you […]
Fading Gigolo, the new film by John Turturro, continues production in NY. More images have been snapped by passing fans along with more idea of who’s in the film – and who isn’t. In some contrast to Allen’s own productions, ‘Fading Gigolo‘ has had a very public production. Filming this week featured locations in Manhattan […]
Director Jason Reitman is presenting a live reading of Manhattan at LACMA (or more commonly known as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art) on 15th November, reports EW. Like other similar events, name stars tackle the script of a film in front a live audience. Reitman is best known for his thoughtful yet highly […]
A great video did the rounds this week. An energetic mash up of scenes from IMDB’s 250 by Jonathan Keogh. It’s a rush for the film lover, who would know and love dozens and ozens of the films here. Most films get an odd second or two of love, but Annie Hall gets a surprise […]
Following on from the European release dates, Cinemablend have the scoop on the US To Rome With Love DVD and Blu-Ray release. It will also be the first time – ever – any significant special features will be included with a Woody Allen home release. The US release for ‘To Rome With Love‘ will be January […]
Zelig is not one of Woody Allen’s most recognised films, but it is one of his very best. Perhaps it’s the strange title, or the pseudo documentary format. It’s certainly a far cry from his witty, neurotic, New York comedies. But it is touching, funny, clever and a spectacular special effects ride. For anyone else […]
