Woody Allen Looking at Copenhagen for Next Feature Film Location

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Woody Allen Woody Allen  continues his pattern of scouting famous European capitals to film his movies. The Oscar-winning director has got his eye on Copenhagen as the location for his next, still-untitled feature film.

This will be Allen’s first film set in Denmark and would follow Allen’s Oscar-winning movie Midnight in Paris, which was filmed in France. He shot two movies in London titled You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Match Point; one in Spain called Vicky Cristina Barcelona; and Rome, where his last film Nero Fiddled, starring Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg and Penelope Cruz was set.

Allen’s long time European producer Letty Aronson is looking to team up with Per Holst, the Danish producer of Pelle The Conqueror.

Allen’s European mission to filmmaking  has allowed him to tap into vast resources of capital to bankroll his projects. Copenhagen has set up a regional film fund to entice international film productions. The Danish government footing the bill is a major reason why Allen’s next film is set to start filming in Scandinavia next year.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
