Next Woody Allen movie will be in Rome - there's no story, but who would you like to see working with the legendary director?

Since 2005, Woody Allen have been touring Europe (I'm not talking about 2009's Whatever Works). Match Point (2005), Scoop (2006), Cassandra's Dream (2007) and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) were shooted in London; Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) was the Woody Allen most profitable movie and it was filmed in Barcelona, while Midnight in Paris (2011) takes place in Paris and it will be released in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

So, the Untitled Woody Allen's Rome Project will start shooting in the end of this year's Summer (but some reports also say that it will happen in July) and it should have a 2012 release. There's no details about the story, the usual "superstition" of Allen, but we can start thinking about some sexy scenes à la Vicky Cristina Barcelona and who can actually star this Woody Allen flick.
The movie will certainly take an Italian actor or actress, but I've a feeling that Allen will team-up Raoul Bova (Under the Tuscan Sun) and his latest muse Scarlett Johansson (Match Point) in a sexy-bitch kind of role . I can also see the beautiful and talented Asia Argento (Une Vieille Maîtresse) starring in it and being part of a kind of love triangle between this actress character and Bova's and Scarlett's. I would love to see a Woody Allen drama instead of a comedy, something really tragic!

I've been checking the IMBd pages of Bova, Johansson and Argento and it seems that they can do the movie. In spite of being up for The Avengers, Miss Johansson may be able to appear in the Woody Allen movie if the Marvel big-budget production start shooting in April as it seems to be programmed (her sexiness always make wonders in an Woody Allen movie!).
I will eat my hat if my casting predictions will be confirmed, I really will (maybe I'll post a photo of that).

P.S.: I only remembered Raoul Bova, because a female friend of mine commented that "Raoul Bova is Italian" when we read that Allen will shoot in Rome.

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
