Woody Allen Unable To Shoot Movies In New York
It turns out that if Woody Allen tried to make his iconic film Manhattan today, he’d have to shoot it in Barcelona.
Due to the relatively low budget of Woody Allen’s films, he has to shoot them in European cities because New York has become too expensive to film in.
It’s not such a bad thing, though. Allen says he thinks Spanish actors are among the best in the world, naming Antonio Banderas (who stars in his latest film, You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger), Javier Bardem, and Penelope Cruz.
"I'm lucky I got to work with the very best ones," said Allen.
Allen has been shooting his next film, Midnight in Paris, in Paris. French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy plays a minor role.

Well there is always a reason why the budget is that low…
If Woody Allen can't film in NYC, there's no one to blame but himself.
He dragged his best friend, Jean Doumanian, to court and shook her down for money that he believed he was owed. He bites the hand that feeds him. He burned bridges and now has to scramble to raise money. He's pathetic. He thinks getting A-list actors will generate interest in his indulgent tripe. Carla Bruni?? Who's next, Ivanka Trump?
He hasn't been relevant since "Hannah and Her Sisters."
You can never understand a damn word Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz says. And Woody Allen is a pervert, who gives a shit about him.
Re: europeansarepedophiles – I agree - I can't look at him without seeing a pedophile. I don't care how talented he is, he is a very warped individual - just like MJ.
He's a disgusting little jew who married his daughter.
Old, old, old, irrelevant has been.
Film is Film, not Sunday School
The used Toronto to film several 911 features.
Was odd really for some of us watching it happen here in "TO", as america
took the hits, lost the lives , and we Canadians got alot of jobs.
Sure, Woody.
Put the blame where the blame should be
Unions and their greed have ruined this country
I can't ever look at Woody Allen and not think "Dude, you slept with your girlfriend's adopted underaged daughter, then you decided to leave your girlfriend for her daughter and marry her" :/
Re: europeansarepedophiles – At least we Europeans speak several languages, I'd love to see you speaking in a foreign language
Re: PisPotPete – True dat!
Re: MarySnow85 – Why bother with someone who has a screenname like that…
when will this over rated pedophile mummy DIE already? crikey….
He could bypass the budget problems and do a home movie: "Honey, I Screwed the Kids!"
