At a recent press conference held on the Upper East Side (of course), Woody Allen discussed his new film Midnight In Paris (which is getting rave reviews)... but he also talked about his next film, which will have him acting again! Allen hasn't had a part in one of his films since 2005's Scoop, and told the press, "There just happened to be a part that I could play. I can’t play the love interest anymore, and of course this is tremendously frustrating, because that’s really what I want to play. But that’s not as believable anymore. I have to play Pops, the backstage doorman at the theater or something like that. But in this one there is a part for me." The film will also star Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg and Penelope Cruz... but alas, not New York City.
The new flick (called Bop Decameron) will be filmed in Rome this summer, and Allen says, "I'll have three months of a hotel shower. I have a great shower at home. It comes down hard and hot. You get into a foreign shower—you know how that is. I like to work at home: my home, my bed, my surrounding pharmaceuticals.”
As for Midnight In Paris, that will hit the big screen tomorrow—get your tickets here.
