Allen’s quirky To Rome With Love trailer out

The first trailer of Oscar winner Woody Allen’s To Rome With Love released recently, featuring an all-star cast including the director himself back on screen.

In the follow up to Midnight in Paris, Allen’s biggest-ever box office hit, the director moves to another European capital with his classic humorous and farcical form. Previously titled Nero Fiddled, the footage opens with an introduction by a Roman policeman telling the camera he is witness to a lot of stories, which then begin to unfold.

To Rome With Love, says Woody Allen

Woody Allen is now in love with Rome, after his trysts with London, Barcelona and Paris. His next film will be called To Rome With Love, which will capture the mood, the flavour, the history and the tradition of a great city, said to have been built by Romulus and Remes, twins suckled by a she-wolf.
