My intel from a few days ago proved to be correct.
Woody Allen confirmed today, in an interview with Alec Baldwin, that he is indeed shooting his upcoming dark drama in Paris this fall.
This would be Allen’s 50th directorial effort and he even hinted it could be his last. The writer-director claims he is just not that excited anymore in making films, citing his less-than-appealing view towards streaming.
A swan song set in Paris would be quite the appropriate career-capper for an artist who has frequently shown his love for French culture in his films. Know what would be the icing on the cake? A Cannes world premiere.
There are no additional plots details, or a title, about this new film set in France. I’ve been tracking this project for the better part of a year now, and I’ll have more on the film whenever I get more info.
Daniel Kaluuya took a sabbatical from acting back in 2022. There have been many theories as to why, but the important thing is he’s finally back, starring in this fall’s Chris Rock-directed “Misty Green.”
