Woody Allen is currently getting some of the best reviews (and box office) in his long career with the Paris-set transcendent Midnight In Paris while he shoots his next film, The Bop Decameron, in Rome. Although Allen has filmed in England (Match Point, Scoop, Cassandra’s Dream, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger), Spain (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), France, and Italy in the past decade (with a brief return to New York for Whatever Works), it seems like Allen hasn’t checked off all the “places to make movies before you die” on his list because The Hollywood Reporter suggests that Allen might shoot his next film in Munich, Germany.
The report says that Munich-based Bavaria Studios is courting Allen to be the setting of his next film, offering him about $25 million to shoot his next movie there. Allen has long professed that his on-going European vacation is a result of him being more able to secure financing for his projects overseas than he is in the United States. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if Allen chose to go for the Munich money, and who can blame him? He’s made some of his best films (Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight In Paris) overseas. Wherever it ends up shooting, this movie will likely be released in 2013, following Allen‘s nearly a-movie-a-year release pattern.
Allen’s next film, The Bop Decameron, is set for a 2012 release and features Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Penélope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, Alison Pill, and Allen himself.
