After Grabbing France’s First Lady, Woody Allen Finds his Leading Lady in Cotillard

Date:

The phasing out of “Scarlett Johansson period” is now complete, as Woody Allen seems logically more into leading ladies whose first language is French. Slowing finding the set pieces for his Paris-based project, Carla Bruni and Owen Wilson were recently announced/attached, and now Allen claimed Oscar winning actress in Marion Cotillard off waivers – she probably jumped on the chance at working with the legend filmmaker without the need to read the script. Shooting is expected to take place during the summer. After previously hitting London and Barcelona, I wonder if Allen would consider hitting the capital cities of Asia – I’m sure he could find financing coin with the same conditions as his European deals.
