All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
John Turturro has been working very hard, out promoting his new film Fading Gigolo, which co-stars Woody Allen. He has taken himself around the world, and is now back in the states. With co-star Vanessa Paradis, they sat down for a Q&A with Film Independent before a screening. It’s a lengthy half hour full of […]
There are many performances in the Bullets Over Broadway Musical that are getting acclaim – Helene Yorke, Marin Mazzie, Zach Braff. But none seem to have pleased the audience as much as Trixie, an 8 pound Pomeranian, who has been stealing the show. Trixie plays Mr Woofles, the constant companion of Eden Brent (originally played […]
John Turturro has been working hard, promoting his new film Fading Gigolo, which co-stars Woody Allen. This week has found him in Rome and our video of the week is an almost 1 hour press conference done in that city. It’s a long video with lots of awkward translating, but there are some nice revelations. […]
Don’t know about you, but we are very much enjoying Jimmy Fallon as the new host of The Tonight Show. Fallon, who appeared in the Allen film Anything Else, is a comedy encyclopedia, very much acknowledging the rich comedy history of ‘The Tonight Show‘. It reminds us of this video, which we are making our […]
Our video of the week is a nice interview with John Turturro talking about his new film Fading Gigolo. The film co-stars Woody Allen. The video features Turturro talking far more in depth into the themes of the film. He also talked about working with Allen on his script, and his “merciless feedback”. Most interesting […]
The Bullets Over Broadway Musical opens this Tuesday! We’ve been covering this for almost two years now, and it’s finally here. The official Bullets Over Broadway YouTube channel is a great source of information, and they have a new video with the cast discussing the music. No more song titles are revealed, although it looks […]
Allow us to join the chorus of people paying tribute to Harold Ramis. Being of a certain age, he is a comedic god. ‘Caddyshack‘, ‘Groundhog Day‘ and ‘Ghostbusters‘ are just some of the many highlights in his career. We particularly love his role in ‘Walk Hard‘. Our video of the week is Ramis talking about […]
We are a little over a week away from the 86th Academy Awards, and all eyes are on Cate Blanchett. She has swept the awards season so far, winning every major and minor award for Best Actress. All this publicity has led to a short piece with Blanchett that aired on 60 minutes. The 13 […]
Fading Gigolo is out in the US on 18th April 2104, and we are starting to see publicity for the film ramp up. The new comedy from John Turturro and starring Woody Allen has a new clip, courtesy of Yahoo!, and we are making it our video of the week. The new clip features Sofia […]
It’s our video of the week time, and we are looking forward. 2014 is going to be another busy year for Woody Allen, with a number of new projects. Fading Gigolo hits in April, Magic In the Moonlight in July, and no doubt the filming of his 2015 film (somewhere in the US) in the […]
Cate Blanchett is the toast of Hollywood at the moment. Her performance in Blue Jasmine has seen her winning every award for which she was nominated. Our video this week is the longest interview on video we have seen with Blanchett discussing ‘Blue Jasmine‘. The interview, with Dave Karger, was held at a Screen Actor’s […]
Our video of the week captures an interview with Woody Allen in 1967. Held at The Bitter End, the classic folk and comedy club in New York, and recorded for television, it features Woody Allen talking about his stand up.

Here it is – the full presentation paying tribute to Woody Allen from the Golden Globes, on the event of him being given the Cecil B DeMille Award. We have Emma Stone (who stars in the upcoming Magic In the Moonlight) up first to present the award. Then the montage, which was put together by […]
Indiewire have posted a new video, a 13 minute interview with Woody Allen from 1979. Conducted in France, it captures Allen out promoting Manhattan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U69mg_1XsIg It’s a pretty good interview with some nice insights. Most interesting is Allen talking about how Paris, how he could see himself making a film there (decades before he did) […]
Here we are in 2014, celebrating the start of another year. Amazingly, we know where Woody Allen was when the new year started exactly 50 years ago. Already a working comedian, Allen was actually part of a live broadcast of ‘The Tonight Show‘, hosted by Johnny Carson. We don’t really have a video – this […]
We don’t usually post Woody Allen’s Jazz endeavours in our videos of the week, mainly because he does it every single week! His Monday night residency with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band at the Carlyle in New York City continues as strong as ever. But just before Christmas, Allen and the band visited […]
On 17th December 1973, Sleeper was released into cinemas. The fourth film written, directed and starring Woody Allen, it is one of the great films in Allen’s early, funny period. 40 years on, the film is still loved, and currently holds in incredible 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Our video of the week this year is […]
Released in 1980, Stardust Memories is one of Allen’s most divisive films. A critical a commercial bomb at the time, it almost derailed his entire career. It is more surreal and colder than anything he’d ever made up to that point. The years have been kinder, with many declaring it one of Allen’s very best. […]
Supercuts – they are surely a thing now. We’ve had several featured as our videos of the week. Huffington Post in particular seems to love them, and has a new one. It captures the array of styles worn by the women in Allen’s films, from Bananas up to To Rome With Love. There are no […]
It’s Thanksgiving, and one film that always makes lists of greatest ever Thanksgiving films is Allen’s own Hannah And Her Sisters. Last year we posted Allen’s great monologue from the film. This year, we are going for a great romantic scene, featuring Michael Caine and Barbara Hershey. In the film, this part is called ‘…nobody, […]
