In 1987, the controversy over colourisation hit its peak. New colourisation companies were adding colour to old films without any consent, or direction, from the original creators. And a bunch of those creators rallied against it, and sought the US government’s help to create laws to stop it. This hour long video features Woody Allen, […]

Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen news bits from around the web. Greta Gerwig is on the cover of the new issue of The Village Voice. She is out promoting ‘Frances Ha‘, directed by Noah Baumbach, and has plenty of Woody Allen overtones. Gerwig starred in To Rome With Love last year, and […]

We are less than two months from the release of Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen’s 2013 film. So we are still craving any and all details from the typically secretive new film. We have interesting praise from Rolling Stone, suggesting they have seen the film, and a quote from Alec Baldwin about his character. Rolling Stone […]
We’ll be honest. We were hoping that the trailer for Blue Jasmine would be our video of the week. But the trailer didn’t arrive so we are taking solace in one of our favourite Woody Allen clips. This one is from 1967 and its Allen as the guest on the TV game show ‘What’s My […]
Woody Allen made a recent appearance in front of just 200 students of Weill Cornell Medical College.

Allen spoke for an hour, reading the unpublished piece ‘A Prestige Address‘, and then took questions from the […]
A very low key Woodywatch, but these photos just got to us. They were taken on 3rd May 2013, and shows Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn out for a stroll on a bright sunny New York day. We can’t make out what part of New York they’re in. In fact we know almost nothing […]

Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen’s 2014 film, has not even got a trailer or a poster, but at least one source has reported on the buzz around Cate Blanchett‘s performance. And that buzz has spread to the film itself. It’s our first opinion about the new film. Roger Friedman from Showbiz411 has this to say: The […]
Deconstructing Harry is one of Allen’s harshest films. Prostitution, kidnapping, infidelity, betrayal. Ironically, this is his first film after his deal with the cutting edge Miramax. There’s even casual use of the word cunt. But that harsh surface obscures some pretty astute comedy. But that comedy also covers up a by the numbers story. Woody […]
We came across another interesting supercut – fan made videos featuring many films – this week. It’s a supercut of varous insults and cursing from great films – 400 films in 5 minutes! Woody Allen features in a prominent place. We’ve featured Jonathan Keogh’s work before. And once again he saw it fit to end […]

It was only a couple of days ago that a few film industry sites got the scoop that Emma Stone is in talks to be a part of Woody Allen’s 2014 film. Today, in a new interview with Stone, she says just a little more about what’s going down. The following quote is taken from […]
This one has been around for ages, and it’s amazing it took us this long to get around to it. It’s a very funny interview with UK’s Granada Television in 1971. The footage was unaired and is presented in raw, uncut form. Because its unedited, it gives a fascinating insight into Allen under pressure. The […]
