In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica Woody Allen announced that he would be filming in Rome soon.
It’s fantastic to have the possibility to work there, like when I shot ‘Manhattan’ in New York, ‘Match Point’ in London and ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ in Barcelona. Each time, it’s like a declaration of love for certain places. I project onto the big screen my feelings for places which count a lot in my life.”
In recent years Allen has filmed “Scoop” and “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” in London, and his next film out, “Midnight in Paris”, was shot in Paris. He did return to his Manhatten in 2009 for “Whatever Works”, but Europe seems to be a font of inspiration.
Don’t ask me about the script or the cast, I’m superstitious. I’m still at the screenplay stage, it would be silly to say more.”
