Woody Allen's Next Heads to Sony Pictures Classics

Variety is reporting that Woody Allen's Whatever Works starring Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Begley Jr. and Patricia Clarkson has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics and will be released this summer. I have this as one of my 15 most aniticipated films of 2009 following my declaration of Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona as the best film of 2008 so you can imagine my excitement.

The film centers on a highly eccentric character played by Larry David who runs into a young girl from the South and soon after, her mother and soon after, her father. The three of them, along with David's crazy Greenwich Village friends, get into a series of highly improbable, far out, romantic entanglements. It's a return, once again, to New York for Allen. The place he has missed since his last four films have been set overseas.

This is also another indie studio move for Allen who has gone from Dreamworks, to Fox Searchlight, to Focus, to the Weinstein Co. and now to Sony Classics all in the last five years.

  1. Can't wait. Liked VCB a lot – actually I don't think he's ever made a bad film.

    Thought VCB was just ok, so not too excited here.

    I'm not a Woody Allen fan. The more I think about "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan", the worse they seem. I'm not taking a chance on his other movies.
