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.
