Allen chose Carla Bruni by Barbora Misakova

Midnight in Paris – that is a name of new Woody Allen’s movie which is set in nowhere else than Paris itself. Filming began on Monday and despite not so loved first-lady Carla Sarkozy-Bruni who is acting in it this is probably an honor for Parisians to host Allen as a director. The movie has starry cast including Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard and American talents Owen Wilson and Kathy Bates, but as France 24 informed, the most of public attention is focused on the supreme-turned-singer Carla Bruni’s big screen debut. She had been invited by Allen to feature in the film, but as President Nicolas Sarkozy’s 42-year-old wife admitted, she is not an exper! ienced actress and is not quite sure what to expect. As she told an interviewer: “I am not an actress at all. Perhaps I will be completely hopeless but I can’t miss an opportunity like this one. When I am a grandmother I would like to be able to say I made a film with Woody Allen.” French probably know neither what to expect from their first-lady and her acting, but they know at least what to expect from Allen. His movies are not typically American. Most of them are big budget movies with a lot of action where people are always running somewhere and saving the world. Allen’s films on the contrary are “super smart and super witty” as said Ben Barnier, Global Post Correspondent. The movie which should get on the theatres in 2011 should allegedly consist of less action and more words. Let’s get surprised!
