Woody makes it a hat-trick of London flicks
Newcomer Hayley Atwell will star opposite Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell in Woody Allen's latest film.
Jun 22 2006
Details have emerged about Woody Allen's latest London shoot, and the big news is that the film will star relative newcomer Hayley Atwell.
Aside from a lead role in the recent BBC series 'The Line of Beauty', Atwell has been seen in little else, and Allen says he is excited to be casting the young actress.
Speaking to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the diminutive writer-director said: 'There's a girl I'm hoping to discover named Hayley Atwell who I think is very, very beautiful and I am going to present her so you can see what I am talking about. You can share my enjoyment of her.'
The 'Untitled Woody Allen Project' will also star Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell and Tom Wilkinson, and follow two brothers turning to a life of crime when their money troubles get the better of them.
Having abandoned plans to shoot in Paris, the film will be Allen's third London-set flick in a row (following 'Match Point' and the forthcoming 'Scoop'), and is set to shoot in and around the capital this summer with a $20.7 million budget.
