Finally some story details ahead of time on a Woody Allen movie. The prolific auteur will direct Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and the France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Set to shoot this summer in Paris, Midnight in Paris is a romantic comedy centering on a family traveling to the city for business. There is also a young engaged couple that has their lives transformed throughout the journey. The film, according to the press release, “celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.” Michael Sheen (The Queen), newcomer Nina Arianda, Tom Hiddleston (Thor), Corey Stoll (Salt), veteran TV actor Mimi Kennedy and Kurt Fuller (Mr. Woodcock) will also star.

This cast is amazing, but I see another Rotten Tomatoes intervention for Woody.
I haven’t really liked his Scarlett Johannson (sp) starring films of late (not even Match Point), but most of Woody’s films- Hannah and Her Sisters, for example- are some of my favorite films of all time.
that doesn’t make total sense. 2 of his last 5 had very high scores. i think upper 70′s and low 80′s. 2 were around 50 percent. and 1 was low… scoop which i really liked and got a number a decent reviews. anyway… his smaller flicks like whatever works and cassadra’s dream were at the 50 mark… this one smells like a 70-80. we’ll see. great cast. larger budget. and his next one sounds really good too. it will be at cannes this year and another great cast. you will meet a tall dark stranger.
I loved how he captured Barcelona in “Vicky Christina Barcelona”, so I am really looking forward to his vision for the city of lights! And I love love love Michael Sheen! YAY!
Sounds good to me. I’ll pretty much watch anything Allen makes.
You must be a fan of perverts. Let me guess, you simply adore Roman Polanski.
it sounds like Allen might have an Academy award nominee for best original script…..and maybe and Oscar for a supporting role, and maybe for best direction too!
I can’t wait to watch this film!
I am though surprised he chose Owen Wilson, I guess he saw something special in this guy.
Love Rachel Mc Adams, since the notebook and mean girls…..
Micheal Sheen? Rachel McAdams? Kathy Bates? MARION COTILLARD?!!!!!! I’m so there!
very unusual for a WA film to have a title already plus a plot description. interesting that the original title of vicky christina barcelona was midnight in barcelona
Oh, I thought he and Roman were teaming up to do a remake of “Lolita”………….
Sounds amazeballs.
