Focus Features has just announced a pickup of Woody Allen ‘s Scoop, a London-based comedy that he shot last summer costarring himself, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and Ian McShane. Allen also wrote and directed. Johansson plays an American journalism student who happens upon a great news scoop while visiting London. An affair with an aristocrat (Jackman) is also part of the mix. A Focus rep said he didn’t know the debut date, but Variety‘s Ian Mohr posted a story this afternoon that says Scoop is coming out “this summer.”
