Looks like potential Oscar gold, looks like less of an ensemble for Allen as well.

HyperRealist · 06-09-2013, 08:13 AM

I guess it doesn't have enough explosions to interest anyone at blu-ray.com

MikeScott · 06-09-2013, 08:21 AM

It looks really good to me. Blanchett seems great in it.

kallima · 06-09-2013, 08:33 AM

I need to know how much of a role Andrew Dice Clay has, even Blanchett can't get me to see it if Clay gets too much screen time.

Y'know, I remember in the 80's, thinking "What is this new Woody movie going to be about?"
Nowadays, I have to change the question and ask "WHERE is it about?" Because I now know the script was going to be more about Where than What.

(Although I assume that's a step up from the 90's, when it was more about Who than What.)

Looks very similar to A Streetcar Named Desire.

I'm assuming this will be worth seeing, based on the strange pattern of every other film of his being worth seeing...since the last one wasn't, this will be. Sounds ridiculous, but has held true for a long time.

Yeah looks like it could be Woody along the order of Match Point and Midnight in Paris, not To Rome With Love

Or tights and capes, perhaps?

Yankees0222 · 06-09-2013, 03:02 PM

Count me in! I love anything Woody Allen. IMO, even his failures are better than majority of the crap that gets released nowadays.

Scottie · 07-24-2013, 02:57 AM

Praying that my art house theater gets it this week.

They will DEFINITELY be getting it, but I want to see it now!

Visco. · 07-25-2013, 06:50 PM

Wow this cast looks amazing! Blanchett, Baldwin, and Sarsgaard are all great. It's good to see Louis CK tackling serious roles as well. Woody Allen is underrated IMO. I'll be seeing this ASAP.

No. I'm a huge fan of his (work) but, no.

Okay okay. Fair enough. He's made some pretty filthy films. I think Midnight in Paris is his best film. I haven't seen Manhattan though.

A huge +1. I like his films, but I think he gets way too much credit for the quality of work he puts out.

I think he has been and continues to be lauded the appropriate amount.

Wide August 23rd: http://variety.com/2013/film/news/ca...akingnewsalert

I imagine it will be in the 800-900 theater range.

Scottie · 08-14-2013, 01:37 AM

One of my theaters is getting this Friday!

MikeScott · 08-14-2013, 02:35 AM

I imagine mine will get it on the 23rd. I definitely want to see it. It's been doing really, really well in limited release. Definitely didn't expect it to expand as well as it has been.
