I sure hope he's going to give Tennessee Williams a credit for ripping off A Streetcar Named Desire.

Whoa, is this really shot in 'scope, or whatever we're calling 2.35:1 these days? If so, would that make it his first film since Manhattan shot super wide?

DICE!!!!

It's always funny when old school directors finally have to use CGI in their movies, and that shot of the plane was pure Tim & Eric perfection

It looks like it won't fall into the "minor Woody" category. I'm very much looking forward to it.

I think the return to drama is doing Woody a lot of good. Early word of mouth on this movie is that it's a great one and that Cate Blanchett is a shoe-in for the Best Actress Oscar. I'm hoping for his best since, oh , say 'Sweet and Lowdown'. Cannot wait!

something horribly predictable about Cate securing an oscar nom here. I mean, tons of actresses could excel in that role its pretty much an actresses dream role and script :/

Blanchett's accent is all over the place.

"Allen has usually excelled with stories about siblings (i.e. "Hannah & Her Sisters")" — incisive. vintage playlist.

Whoa… Cate Blanchett kinda sounds like Judy Davis in that trailer.

"Play It Again Sam" was not directed by Allen, but written by him, starring him and set in San Francisco. While not named as the city, "Take the Money and Run" was written and directed by Woody Allen — his first film with those credits? — and set entirely in SF.

Wow, looks great. I can't wait to see Louis C.K. in action.

I'm not sure Blanchett is getting an Oscar nom for this. Its being released awfully early in the season and while it seems to be a showy part, Blanchett's not playing a real person + there's no deglam factor like Cotillard in La Vie En Rose and it's doesn't seem as dramatic or hearbreaking as Julie Christie's turn in Away from her, (those are the 2 examples of early releases that went on to garner Oscar noms for lead actress I can think of). Yes, she suffers from depression, but then every Allen character does. She even misses a Globe nom for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button so it's not like she's nominated every time she gets a lead part. Also her character might be too unlikable. She stands a better chance with Carol next year.

Play It Again Sam, one of his early movies, was also shot in San Francisco.

Looks like it will be one of the better Woody Allen films. Cate Blanchett looks like she will be fab. As do the rest of the cast.

It looks like a nice change from actors doing Woody Allen impersonations, now they're doing Judy Davis ones.
No, seriously, I think it looks promising.

Love it! Blanchett's performance looks amazing.
