It’s just been announced that Woody Allen’s new film, Whatever Works will be opening the Tribea Film Festival on April 22nd. Whatever Works is Allen’s first film shot in his hometown of New York since 2004. His last few films have been shot overseas, showing his obsession with Europe especially France & Spain.
“Whatever Works” is a romantic comedy starring Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Begley Jr. and Patricia Clarkson.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Allen stated that “the film will be a comedy, but, “a slightly different one for me. It’s a blackish comedy.” Allen also had this to say about his choice of Larry David as the leading role, ”He’s got a great thing of his own. He’s got a great, what would you call it, sarcastic, sour or vitriolic, wonderful, wonderful, no nonsense sense of humor.”
