Legendary Hollywood filmmaker Woody Allen is tipped to be penning a new movie based on the Greek crisis.
After successful European themed movies like, Vicky, Christina, Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, and From Rome with Love, Woody Allen is now preparing to film in Athens.
According to sources, his next film bears the provisional title Athens by Night and narrates the life of a young American writer who lives in Plaka, under the Acropolis, and writes an epic novel on the Greek crisis.
Rumor has it Brad Pitt will play the role of the author, while Penelope Cruz will play the role of his Greek lover. Also, according to the same source, an 11-member team of Woody Allen’s partners is already in Athens, in complete secrecy, while for the first time in an Allen film, the script has been written by someone other than him, American writer Paul Auster. Allen is expected to arrive early May in Athens to start shooting and according to the production company, the film will be completed by late September.
