Woody asides
A friend with access to huddlings in the Woody Allen camp says that in his next film (i.e., the one after Vicky Cristina Barcelona) Evan Rachel Wood will play Larry David's love interest. The untitled piece "is an old script that Woody wrote for himself but now he feels too old for it, so we'll get the young sexpot Larry David," I was told an hour ago.
Evan Rachel Wood
For what it's worth I think the idea is kind of nervy-cool. Bizarre but why not? What with that blood-spattered Marilyn Manson sex video last year and this bizarre piece of news (which I believe is coming from a reliable place, whether or not it plans out), Wood is seeming more and more of an oddball in terms of her romantic whatevers.
My source has also seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona and says "it's good. Not great but very good, and Penelope Cruz walks away with it. She is great in it and should wind up with an Oscar nomination. (I think.) VCB is funny and sweet and sad and way, way better then his last few movies, including Match Point.
"If [Woody] had spent just a little more time cutting it and being less lazy it could have been one of his great movies," he claims. "Still it's very good, and the sex scene [lesbian action between Scarlett Johansson and Rebeca Hall or Cuz or whomever] is really, really sexy. It's so weird that Woody Allen did it."

Someone told me that Larry David and Woody Allen would be in it together, but I guess that's not the case. Shame, because I wanted to see that

Yeah the only thing cooler than Woody directing Larry David would be for him to be acting along side him as well. Or maybe it would just be too much.
Either way I can't help but love this.

I think that sex scene is actually between Scarlett and Penelope. There's also a threesome involving Scarlett, Penelope and Javier Bardem.

They gotta be able to sell this one, right? Likely something for everyone here, no matter what your sexual preference.

Jeff: Is Larry David worthy (ie: attractive & thin) enough to be in a film?

And Larry David is bald too. Hey, I'm bald, maybe I can be a movie star!

this bizarre piece of news (which I believe is coming from a reliable place, whether or not it plans out)
It was reported by Entertainment Weekly over a month ago.

Larry and Woody sharing the screen would cancel each other out and probably rip a hole in the universe, or something. At least David should make a more convincing surrogate Woody than Kenneth Branagh.

The very idea of Larry David with his gnarled creepy hands (not to mention his lips) on Evan Rachel Wood makes me want to heave...

As long as neither Larry David nor Woody Allen are in the sex scenes . . .
Woody Allen (72) is too old for Evan Rachel Wood (20), and Larry David (61) is not? Yeah, whatever.
George Clooney (46) is too old for Evan Rachel Wood. Hell, Ewan Macgregor (36) and Colin Farrell (31) are too damn old for Evan Rachel Wood!
The funniest part of Scoop was when Scarlett tried to pass off Woody as her father. I was waiting for someone to say he looks more like your grandfather.
