We have just heard the sad news on the passing of Roger Ebert. What can we say but add to the chorus of people paying tribute to a giant of film, and film criticism. There are plenty of great obituaries for those who want to relive the full scope of his life – we like […]
Blue Jasmine, the 2013 film from writer and director Woody Allen, is set for a 26th July release in the US, and slowly we are finding out more about the international roll out.

Sony Pictures Classics has released another new image from Woody Allen’s 2013 ‘serious drama’ Blue Jasmine. This new image gives us out first look at Peter Sarsgaard, along with Cate Blanchett. Sarsgaard was a late addition to the cast, and looks like he replaced the role originally slated for Bradley Cooper. In the film, he […]
Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen news bits from around the web. Wallace Shawn has appeared in over 150 films, and his latest is ‘Admission‘ with Tina Fey. He has also appeared in many of Allen’s films, but none more famous than in Manhattan, where he made a cameo as Diane Keaton‘s ex […]

This video has been making the rounds this week. It’s a 44 minute long cut of, apparently, every Woody Allen stammer in Woody Allen film. It was created by The Huffington Post. They really do try to capture it all, including What’s New Pussycat from 1965, through every film he appears in that he directs, […]
Thanks to reader Chandan for this tip – a fantastic blogpost from Claire Marie taking us behind the scenes of Woody Allen’s 2013 film Blue Jasmine. The film was shot in San Francisco last summer, and as usual details are tightly under wraps. The post is from a couple of months ago, but it gives […]
Woody Allen said in Manhattan that art is what living is for. But is it worth killing for? That’s the big question at the heart of this delightful film. Full of humour and crazy characters, but also deeply resonate and with big ideas. It has a style and substance that is part of all his […]
Our twice monthly round-up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. Sarah Silverman presented a screening of Crimes And Misdemeanors in LA last month as part of the Wayne Federman International Film Festival. Here’s a picture from the event. Silverman has been a vocal fan of Allen’s work, but the two of them also […]
We recently came across this utterly adorable clip. It’s the Muppets from ‘The Muppets Take Manhattan‘, except it’s with dialogue from Woody Allen’s Manhattan. The clever idea was the work of Aaron Walker. Woody Allen has actually been made into a Muppet, having appeared in the Stadler and Waldorf series ‘From the Balcony‘. Best of […]
This year was a great Oscars, with so many great films getting the spotlight. We covered Woody Allen’s only appearance at the awards in our previous video of the week, and we continue to look at Allen at the Oscars this week. His best year was 1978, the 50th Academy Awards ceremony, and the film […]
Don’t Drink The Water is sometimes left off some lists of Woody Allen films because of one reason – it was made for TV. And in many ways it looks like it, with a clearly reduced budget. It’s also not a new script – it’s a Woody Allen play from 1966 newly adapted for the […]
Sony Pictures Classics have released the very first image from Woody Allen’s 2013 film, Blue Jasmine. The image is of Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins, who play sisters in what is described as a ‘serious drama’. Click on the image for full size! Blanchett certainly doesn’t look happy in that photo. Both characters are dressed […]
Our bi-monthly round up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. This week – Hemingway revisits Manhattan, Bobby Cannavale on being a big actor and more. RedCarpetNewsTV spoke to Mariel Hemingway in a new video interview. She discussed her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, and how he was protrayed in Midnight In Paris. She also spoke […]
After his longest run (yet) of intense dramas, Allen returns to something that is brightly comedic with Mahattan Murder Mystery. It’s a much needed breath of fresh air, coming from all the tabloid dramas that surrounded Husbands And Wives. And in a crowd pleasing move, it reunited Allen with Diane Keaton for the first time […]
Allen’s appeared less and less in his films over the years, but famously casts other actors into the roles he would have played. Some are great, some are not, but many fine actors have taken on the role of the Woody allen ‘surrogate’. This week’s video pays tribute to them. The film, produced by Filmdrunk.com, […]
Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen news bits around the web. ‘Parks And Recreation‘ star Amy Poehler revealed her ‘inspiration board’ to EW.com, and amongst the famous faces is Woody Allen. Sadly they didn’t ask her why. Christopher Walken has done a new interview with Rolling Stone‘s Peter Travers. The video interview features […]
John Turturro has told the story many times now, that he managed to get the idea for Fading Gigolo to Woody Allen through his hairdresser. Now, in a new video, Turturro introduces us to the hairdresser Anthony, and reveals about more about the origins of the film and more of the plot. This video spells […]
