From the World of Reel website:
Allen has hinted that ”Coup de Chance,” his 50th film, might not be his last one. He keeps reiterating that it all depends on whether he can get financing, which would most likely come from European money.
Some good news. In a new interview with Spanish filmmaker David Trueba, the 88-year-old Allen confirms that he is currently trying to launch a new film, which could start shooting as early as this summer in Italy. No other details were given.
Last fall, Allen had stated that he had a “great story” for a film set in NYC and that “it's one of the best ideas I've ever had.” Has he just moved the setting to Italy? Maybe this is a totally different film.
He's just a couple years older than the president will be at the end of the term if he's re-elected. Other countries have movie directors in their 90's or older. I saw a movie made by a guy who was 103. It's probably a good thing to drive home to film students and would-be film students that film is an old person's art although I think Allen himself said just the opposite recently.
