WOODY ALLEN HAS SET NEW FILM IN SPAIN: Despite being involved in a multi-million-dollar breach of contract lawsuit against Amazon, and being considered persona non grata by many in Hollywood, Woody Allen has his next project set for Spain. Amazon severed its relationship with Allen after old sexual assault allegations against his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow resurfaced. Allen will work with Mediapro, producer of Allen’s previous hits Vicky Cristina Barcelona, as well as Midnight in Paris and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Shooting will begin in Spain. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Mediapro said: “We have a 10-year relationship with Mr. Allen and, like all projects we produce, we judge the creator by its work. All of our projects have a unique personality, and we support all types of artistic voices and ideas and remain committed to producing well-defined and creative projects for audiences worldwide.”
