SMALL TIME CROOKS Filming Locations – Manhattan, Queens, Venice

December 15, 2020 2 Comments

Small Time Crooks features one of Woody Allen’s great locations. One that should be on every great Woody Allen location guide – the cookie shop. It’s actually rare for Allen to take over such a public location for public filming. Otherwise, Small Time Crooks is an interesting mix of two New York’s – the schlubby […]

THE CURSE OF THE JADE SCORPION Filming Locations: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, New Jersey

July 11, 2020 1 Comment

When Allen goes ‘period’, he tasks his team with finding locations that look like the past without being too far from his house. His team always do an incredible job – and The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion – one of his least loved and least successful films – looks great. Says Allen: “Everybody works […]

HOLLYWOOD ENDING Filming Locations – New York, New Jersey, Long Island

February 22, 2020 No Comments

Hollywood Ending, despite the title, sees Allen remain faithful to New York City. The film spends a lot of the time inside a film studio. We suspect some of the offices and apartments are also sets created for the film. But there’s still a mix of gorgeous outdoor locations in Central Park, glamorous hotels and […]

It is set to be released in 2020, and here is our wrap up of all the details released so far. Warning: minor spoilers. The Story Here is what The Hollywood Reporter said about […]

ANYTHING ELSE (2003) Filming Locations – Central Park, Upper East Side, New York City

December 26, 2019 No Comments

Woody Allen’s films are usually tied to his beloved New York. But it’s only occasionally that he turns up the picture postcard prettiness of the city, and usually in romantic comedies. Anything Else mixes those postcard elements with a grittier side of New York as well. This isn’t a story about the glamorous types. Most […]

MELINDA AND MELINDA Filming Locations – New York City

April 11, 2018 1 Comment

Who knows who knew at the time, but Melinda And Melinda would be Allen’s last film in New York and the US for several years. It’s once again modern day, and Allen mixes in a couple of gorgeous tourist locations in with impossibly beautiful apartments no one could afford. There’s a few we don’t know. […]

MATCH POINT Filming Locations – London, Reading, UK

March 8, 2018 1 Comment

Woody Allen broke an incredible 28 year streak by filming outside of New York for Match Point. He was offered British funding and decided to decamp to Britain, work with a new crew, and tap into Britain’s vast acting talent pool. Allen’s idea for the script was originally to be set in Long Island. Moving […]

Scoop Filming Locations – London, Oxfordshire

February 28, 2018 2 Comments

Scoop was the second Allen film to be set in London. Like he does in New York, Allen enjoys the finer neighbourhoods, even for low down characters. The lovely West London is the setting for the film. There is also an excursion to a beautiful property in Oxfordshire. There is a little nod to tourist […]

Cassandra’s Dream Filming Locations – London, Brighton, Hoo, UK

January 21, 2018 2 Comments

Cassandra’s Dream is Allen’s third film in the United Kingdom, and perhaps that familiarity allowed Allen to avoid the tourist landmarks. With more street level characters, it makes sense that Allen looked to less expensive parts of London than his other films. No doubt Allen looked to British kitchen sink dramas and the work of […]

VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA Filming Locations – Barcelona, Oviedo, Spain, New York

December 10, 2017 No Comments

Allen has always loved Spain – but who hasn’t? Yet, it took him many decades to finally make a film there. When he did, he crafted a story far away from the skyscrapers and fancy apartments of his other films. Released in 2008, Vicky Cristina Barcelona was unique in Allen’s extensive catalogue of films. Many […]

Whatever Works Filming Locations – New York City

September 23, 2017 No Comments

Whatever Works is an oddity in Allen’s career in this period. Released in 2009, it was the only exclusively New York film in a run of 11 films, when Allen was mainly shooting in Europe. Allen returns to New York, and focus is not Allen’s usual upper, more posh addresses. He sticks to downtown, Chinatown […]

You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger Filming Locations – London, UK

August 4, 2017 No Comments

You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger sees Allen return to London, and is the last of four films he made there in the second half of the 00s. London doesn’t get the postcard treatment afforded by Allen to Manhattan or Paris. Instead, he loves the streets and the shadows, the overcast skies. Stranger features […]

Midnight In Paris Filming Locations – Paris, Versailles, France

June 8, 2017 No Comments

Allen had worked in Paris before (Whats New Pussycat, Love And Death, Everyone Says I Love You), but his love of the city is best shown in Midnight In Paris. And audiences and critics alike flocked to the film. Of all his European travels, he has never made a city look so impressive. It helps […]

Every Location In Midnight In Paris’ Opening Scene

March 19, 2017 1 Comment

Released in 2011, Midnight In Paris was a huge success for Woody Allen. Part of it must be that location, and Allen managed to make Paris on screen as beautiful as any city had even been. Much like what he did for Manhattan in 1979, Allen opened Midnight In Paris with a montage of the […]

To Rome With Love Filming Locations – Rome, Italy

February 26, 2017 10 Comments

Allen continues his European tourist excursion with To Rome With Love in 2012. And by now, Allen makes no apologies for the postcard perfect scenes, covering just about every tourist cliché in Rome. It’s classic cinematic escapism as we see Rome at it’s impossible best, with various stories of romance and comedy mixed in. By […]

Blue Jasmine Filming Locations – San Francisco, New York, Nyack

February 5, 2017 1 Comment

Blue Jasmine saw Allen return to America after another stint abroad, but he surprised his audience by not returning to New York – at least not fully. Allen announced that the film would be made in San Francisco, where he made his very first film Take The Money And Run (1969). Although some scenes would […]

Café Society Filming Locations – Los Angeles, New York And More

January 1, 2017 4 Comments

Café Society was one of Allen’s most lavish films in recent years. Not only were the costumes and sets amazing in their recreation of the 1930s, Allen also shot in two major cities – Los Angeles (for the first time since Annie Hall in 1977) and his beloved New York. Allen and his team found […]

Magic In The Moonlight Filming Locations – Nice, Menton, Antibes, France

December 11, 2016 No Comments

Woody Allen returned to France for the fourth time in his career for 2014’s Magic In The Moonlight, but this time he avoided his beloved Paris for more sunshine and open space – the breathtaking French Riviera. Part of the choice for setting is the beautiful houses and the natural countryside could pass for the 1930s. […]

Irrational Man Filming Locations – Rhode Island, Newport, Providence And More

November 6, 2016 5 Comments

Allen surprised his audience once again when he chose Rhode Island for his location for 2015’s Irrational Man. New York, Paris, London, Rome….Newport? Yet Rhode Island seemed to fit the bill. After several years of European funding, Allen had secured some US funding, meaning he could now stay in the US to make films. But his […]
