Thanks to Scarlett-Fan for the news!

After making several movies abroad – Match Point, Scoop, the upcoming Cassandra???  ??  ?s Dream, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona – Allen is returning to Manhattan.

Woody tells me he will shoot a romantic comedy in Manhattan beginning in April. Details are a secret, still, and there???  ??  ?s no cast yet. But for Allen this film should be a return to the form for which he is loved and revered.

First, though, Cassandra???  ??  ?s Dream will be released in January. Then his Vicky Cristina Barcelona, shot in Spain last summer with Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson, will get a premiere either in Cannes or Venice.

Woody did tell me the new movie will feature more ???  ??  mature???  ???-aged characters, and that unlike those last four films there is no part for his recent favorite leading lady, Johansson.
