New Trailer Online For CASSANDRA’S DREAM! Ewan McGregor! Colin Farrell! Tom Wilkison! Woody Allen’s New One!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I love that Woody Allen’s sort of reinvented himself again as a filmmaker with this new sort of thriller phase of his career. I loved MATCH POINT, and CASSANDRA’S DREAM looks like a perfect bookend to that one, but with an even better cast. If this film is half as good as this trailer, it’s going to be a real winner for Allen, and that pleases me enormously.
Check it out:
I found a trailer for Woody Allen's new movie, Cassandra's Dream.
It's about halfway down this French page.
This movie looks amazing.
Hope you're all doing well and belated congratulations to Harry from the Salt Lake film scene.
Love ShineBox

Allen basically fleshed the Crimes part of Crimes and Misdemeanors out to a full movie, and then finally got himself a competent DP. kind of like how anything else was pretty much an Annie Hall update (but at least Match Point was good).
-
There's going to be a lot of good stuff there though...
-
Match Point was awesome. Another hot movie from Woody!
-
If it's anywhere near as good as Match Point, I will be a very happy man. I do agree, though, that Match Point is very similar to Crimes and Misdemeanors.

tom wilkinson is a crook and magregor is his kin, and farrell screws up and loses a lot of money, and then later they have to kill the director of a movie as a payback favor, not before cassandra's dream realizes itself, and SHE saves magregor. but then that's just how they cut the trailer...i heard woody allen's next movie is to take place is Spain, anyone know anything?
-
Say what you want, but it's damn fine film.
-
I'm thinking Bananas and Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex*, whatever became of that Woody Allen...I still think he should have had a cameo in Casino Royale.
-
Unless you read Harry's review for it and knew that "...what Jonathan Rhys Meyers does to Scarlet Johannson is going to make alot of people angry."
-
You really should see some more of his movies. The Purple Rose of Cairo, Zelig, Radio Days, Hannah and her Sisters, Sweet and Lowdown , and Broadway Danny Rose are nothing like Annie Hall or Crimes and Misdomenders. Since "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" in 1966 he's made about one movie a year. Of those at least 10 are classics. Every penny of the piddling little $10-15 million dollar budgets he now has I consider payment on serviced rendered. It's worth it simply because he is still capable of a "Match Point."
-
Allen is producing the best films of his career RIGHT NOW. Match Point was a re-birth for him, and Cassandra's Dream looks wild. I actually said 'whoa' after watching the trailer; for a WOODY ALLEN MOVIE. That is worth the price of admission right there.
-
he should stick to drama. A lot of his comedies have been stinkers the past ten years.
-
i'm glad woody's going this way. otherwise he'd be steadily retreading his old work and attempting former glory. well done him.
-
seriously, in all that drama I still have no idea what the movie is about. Is it a caper, a chase drama, a crime drama...what is it? I think I missed the point somewhere.
-
I hate it when I do that.
-
but Match Point was good, real good. So I'll give this a shot.
-
Cos that made me laugh! Sorry, but why cast Celts McGregor and Farrell then have them play Eastenders?! Cast Eastenders instead! Looks silly. Is Woody aiming to be Tinseltown's new Master of Suspense?
-
doing really bad cockney accents. Why not get Dick Van Dyke? Still, it's Woody, so I'll give it a go.

from the maker of match point and scoop
by in the future there wont be men and wome
i love that. ps how can you have a bookend to one other film? that just means two bookends. tit.
-
Oh and the trailer didn't look very good either.
Woody's films that are 100% serious rerely work and this doesn't look like it'll change that.
I'm still hoping that Scoop (when it gets a UK release) was better than people said (everybody dismissed it as a rehash of Manhatten Murder Mystery but that was a fucking awesome flick). -
Or at least stop churning out films and spend a little time trying to make each one, y'know, good.
-
was pretty mediocre fare for Allen. I'm all for saying Allen has rejuvenated his career, but you can't overlook Scoop, and how it certainly wasn't an amazing comedy. I still say one of Allen's bests is "Love and Death" which NO ONE ever mentions, and it is so, so funny. That being said, it's really quite a shame that a director/writer who was synonomous with New York, has to now make films in England because the US won't give him funding. Ridiculous.
-
Of all the asian sex slaves Allen could no doubt have purchased with his considerable wealth from any number modern day slaver-pirates currently operating in asia and eastern europe, Wood-yi decides to bang his own adopted daughter?! Oy vey! I guess his whole meshugana, neurotic schtick isn't a fake, then.
-
Even if Woody Allen wasn't the director there's no way I'd miss a McGregor/Farrell movie. Just think of the possibilities. :D
And he never adopted her. Gee whiz, get it right. She was Mia's daughter, not his. If anything Soon Yi's the slut for stealing her mother's boyfriend. -
"Oy gevalt!" says an anthopamorphized common human decency advocate. No, but seriously, no reflection on the mans' work (I love Polanski's films even though he's a creepy molester too), which is often brilliant, but he's a pervy creep in his personal life which is really none of my concern, but, whatevah; this is the innernets after all, and apparently, this kind of stuff is what the innernets was designed for in addition to porn: Bitching, muck-raking, kneejerk social-satire, criticism of varying degrees of quality and substance, hardcore porn, amateur videos of teenagers singing their favorite pop songs poorly, and free mp3s. Also porn, did I mention porn? Theres this one site called "underage teenage asian daughters of celebrities and their creepy mother's famous boyfriend.com" that really brings it Manhattan style what with the statuatory rape and the Gershwin all up in yr faceplate, brainpan, grill.

IN MY PANTS!

Rip off your shirt there and show us your nellies
-
Save Woody (no pun intended) time, cut cost. Box office will be the same either way.
-
Basically, "Match Point" was a success and Woody Allen wants to recapture that success. Also, fuck "Annie Hall." "Sleeper," "Bananas," and "Love and Death" are where it's at.
-
...who's idea was that ridiculous music?
-
You are a fucking tool. Are you honestly saying that Orlando fuckin Bloom and countless other no talent arseclowns are better actors than Farrell? Farrell is a fine actor - he just shot up the superstardom ladder too quickly. Again, you are a tool. Tool i tells you. This looks cool by the by
-
Farrell rules! Tigerland! Miami Vice! The New World! Uhm... Daredevil! no. Plus, the man wiped the floor with Tom Cruise.
P.S. I'm really glad for Woody. He finally has the chance to make some serious films again. After Interiors and September, I thought he'd never do another drama. Turns out he's really good at it. Not Bergman, but hey... -
...Is the only movie you can see where Obi-Wan Kenobi gives Batman a good shafting with his lightsabre!
-
Bananas is my favorite Woody Allen movie.
-
...he merely banged his girlfriend's daughter, who was 19 or 20 at the time.
Still not cool (he admits it was a mistake), but they have been married for 10 years, had two kids, and seem to be happy, so it's certainly not a typical "creepy" story. I think most great artists have had difficulties being responsible in the their private lives. Except, of course, Jimmy Stewart. That man was a saint! -
As well as the two celtic cockneys, Tom Wilkinson seems to have forgotten where he's from. He's done so many English-tainted Americans he now can't help but do an American-tainted Englishman. Is he secretly Canadian? The trailer was too long, the music was generic, but the talent on show was undeniable.
-
The only thing I disagree with about your statement is the part where you say he admitted it was a mistake. Actually, he has said that Mia discovering their relationship was the best thing that has ever happened to him. It ended his very unhealthy relationship with Mia (seriously, I wouldn't have been able to stay with her as long as he did) and led to his marriage to the love of his life.
Also, anyone who is surprised by anything Woody does in his personal life has just not seen his films, or just does not get it! -
my two favorite actors working with WA in a movie that doesn't look like WA... getting out of NY and going overseas was the best thing to happen to WA's work in years... he seems newly inspired, and is making better films... Match Point was excellent, and Scoop not too bad... looking forward to this one...
-
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that he thought being with Soon-Yi was a mistake. In an interview I saw with him, he said he should have ended his relationship with Mia and started his relationship with Soon-Yi in a different way, which sounds reasonable.
