Nov 6 2007'Cassandra's Dream' Trailer Looks Decent, Woody-less
Getting excited about a modern Woody Allen movie is a tricky business. On the one hand, I'm hopeful for Cassandra's Dream (aka, Who Looks Better With This Flipped-Up Hairstyle, Ewan McGregor or Colin Farrell). This trailer looks pretty strong, it has talented actors, and there doesn't appear to be a lovable yet neurotic character clearly meant to be Woody Allen. All good signs.
But on the other hand, getting Woody Allen to make a decent film has become like rolling a Yahtzee--a rare but occasionally attainable feat--and this wouldn't be the first time I'd walk out of one of his films with the thought that I should have stayed home and watched Annie Hall.
Is this Woody rising from the poorly-reviewed ashes of Scoop, like a stammering, Jewish phoenix, to rise anew as a dramatic director, or is this yet another film to be skimmed over in his coming Academy Awards remembrance montage?
Trailer under the cut.
