All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen bits around the web. ‘Scrubs‘ star Zach Braff has been in the news, thanks to a conversation he had with Woody Allen. Braff (who had a small role in Manhattan Murder Mystery) has been using Kickstarter to raise funds for a new film. In an interview on […]
It’s been an unusually quiet week in Blue Jasmine news, Woody Allen’s 2013 film that is released in just 8 weeks. We do have some plot revelations, a teaser poster, the names of more characters and the running time. Wall Street Journal has noted the parallel between ‘Blue Jasmine‘ and the Bernie Madoff scandal. Speakeasy […]
A call has gone out to look for up to 500 extras to appear in Woody Allen’s 2014 film, the comedy starring Colin Firth and Emma Stone, set to shoot in France in just over a month. Nice Matin was one of various publications that ran the the story. They are looking for Causcasion Men […]
Details are beginning to emerge about Woody Allen’s 2014 film, set to be his 43rd as writer and director. New articles gives us an update of the parts of France the film is set, and a juicy detail about the time it’s set. The Riviera Times has the big story Soon the towns of Antibes, […]
We’ve been searching out old Celebrity-era interviews since we reviewed it, and came across this – a 45 minute, full show interview between Allen and Michael Parkinson. Parkinson is one of the most revered TV hosts in the UK, and was granted very special access to Allen. The fascinating interview is highlighted by Parkinson’s brave […]
Two articles coming out of Brazil have mentioned actresses that have been approached to be part of a new Woody Allen project. The reports have little information, but are interesting nonetheless (and it doesn’t seem to be an April Fool’s). Firstly the articles (translated by Google, so the bad grammar is not the site’s fault): […]
Coming straight after Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity is another harsh, angry film. Shot in stark black and white and with a biting, sour message, it is at times hard to swallow. It has its moments but its an angry yell that lacks heart. Kenneth Branagh stars as Lee Simon, a journalist with aspirations of higher writing. […]
Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the poster for Blue Jasmine, the latest film from Woody Allen, due to hit the US on 26th July. The poster is striking for its simplicity. It features just Cate Blanchett, who plays Jasmine, looking rather serious. Other elements seem to be standard Woody Allen – the alphabetical cast list, […]
We are one years old today! We started this wee website a year ago because it was something we wanted to see ourselves. We love similar pages for other directors, but there was no site for Woody Allen. It was also time to go back through Allen’s films. So for a full year, we’ve posted […]
Casting By, a new documentary about the art of casting, has announced some pretty big release dates. The film, which features Woody Allen amongst its many talking heads, will see its biggest film festival showing to date, and finally a wide TV premiere. Casting By has been doing the rounds of film festivals for months, […]
We are still living off fumes when it comes to news about Blue Jasmine, the 2013 film from writer/director Woody Allen. We are less than ten weeks from its official release (26th July in the US), and we know some people have been lucky enough to preview the film. We now have new comments from […]
The official release date for Blue Jasmine in the US is 26 July, but there will be a very special screening in New Jersey next month. It is the first publicly available tickets to see Woody Allen’s 2013 film. There are two special screenings on the 27th June. Here are the details from the Monmouth […]
In 1987, the controversy over colourisation hit its peak. New colourisation companies were adding colour to old films without any consent, or direction, from the original creators. And a bunch of those creators rallied against it, and sought the US government’s help to create laws to stop it. This hour long video features Woody Allen, […]
Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn were once again out and about in NYC. On May 15th 2013, the couple attended the launch for Versus Versace. The event was hosted by Donatella Versace at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. The event saw the takeover of the line by JW Anderson from Christopher Kane. […]
Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen news bits from around the web. Greta Gerwig is on the cover of the new issue of The Village Voice. She is out promoting ‘Frances Ha‘, directed by Noah Baumbach, and has plenty of Woody Allen overtones. Gerwig starred in To Rome With Love last year, and […]
Sony Pictures Classics has released another new image from Woody Allen’s 2013 film Blue Jasmine. The new image features the films two most famous stars – Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. Blanchett and Baldwin are a married couple in ‘Blue Jasmine‘, until their marriage ends and it sends Blanchett to San Francisco. The new image […]
We are less than two months from the release of Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen’s 2013 film. So we are still craving any and all details from the typically secretive new film. We have interesting praise from Rolling Stone, suggesting they have seen the film, and a quote from Alec Baldwin about his character. Rolling Stone […]
We’ll be honest. We were hoping that the trailer for Blue Jasmine would be our video of the week. But the trailer didn’t arrive so we are taking solace in one of our favourite Woody Allen clips. This one is from 1967 and its Allen as the guest on the TV game show ‘What’s My […]
Woody Allen made a recent appearance in front of just 200 students of Weill Cornell Medical College. The private affair was part of the college’s Readers And Writers series, designed to expose their students to the humanities. Allen spoke for an hour, reading the unpublished piece ‘A Prestige Address‘, and then took questions from the […]
A very low key Woodywatch, but these photos just got to us. They were taken on 3rd May 2013, and shows Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn out for a stroll on a bright sunny New York day. We can’t make out what part of New York they’re in. In fact we know almost nothing […]
