Woody Allen

Woody Allen has hit home runs with European-set films Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Match Point and Midnight in Paris, but can he do it again in Italy? We'll have our answer with To Rome With Love, which follows another star-studded cast as their love lives get a little more complicated in — you guessed it — Rome. This time, the line-up includes Jesse Eisenberg as a guy who's seduced by his girlfriend's friend (Ellen Page), Penélope Cruz as an Italian prostitute, and Allen himself wearing some pants that are pulled up very high.

As with Midnight in Paris, it's obvious that the setting is going to be a major character here, which is enough of a reason for me to be enticed by the film. My only gripe is that Page seems a bit miscast as the boyfriend-stealing sexpot, but I can definitely see her and Eisenberg as a match. Watch the trailer when you read more.

Rachel McAdams is having her biggest moment since The Notebook. Woody Allen's latest muse — "I'm crazy about Rachel," he tells W magazine — stole the show in Cannes, making us verte with envy as she continued to wow with her red carpet choices. And she's done it again, posing alongside other Allen muses, such as Naomi Watts and Penélope Cruz, for the June issue of W. Looking flawless in a black and white shot, Rachel — clad in a black shirt that's sexily slipped off her shoulder to reveal her bra — has her hair scraped up and to the side, creating the illusion of a cropped style. The front strands have volume and a slight curl worked throughout giving a '90s Linda Evangelista vibe to the style, no? Do you like the look?

Rachel McAdams changed into a gorgeous semi-sheer red gown for the premiere of her new Woody Allen movie during the Cannes Film Festival yesterday evening. She and boyfriend Michael Sheen were also together earlier in the day at the Midnight in Paris photo call, though they seemed to show even more PDA at the red carpet event — Michael sweetly helped with her dress as she ascended the stairs, and they huddled close while posing alongside co-stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and French actress Léa Seydoux. Their film opened the huge cinema event so we've got plenty more stunning red carpet celebrity moments to look forward to, including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and more!

A Maxime Simoens-clad Rachel McAdams joined her Midnight in Paris co-stars yesterday for a photo call during the Cannes Film Festival. Director Woody Allen led the group that included Owen Wilson, French actress Léa Seydoux, Adrien Brody, and Rachel's real-life leading man Michael Sheen. Rachel and Michael are together in France after a stint in LA, where they promoted the movie at a press junket. There was time for Rachel and Michael to hang out with his daughter, Lily Sheen, though Rachel was also spotted running errands solo. The couple and their co-stars later switched into red carpet attire for the movie's premiere at Cannes.

In recent years, Woody Allen's films have gotten to be a bit formulaic: he compiles an impeccable cast and drops them in an iconic city, then lets the characters' story lines intersect with each other. Sometimes the formula works (as in Vicky Cristina Barcelona), but other times we're not so lucky (as in You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger). After watching the trailer for his newest film, it's hard to predict where Midnight in Paris will fall on the spectrum. The movie centers on Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams as an engaged couple visiting Paris. They start to grow apart when Rachel's character takes a liking to a stuffy American intellectual (Michael Sheen) that her fiancé doesn't quite approve of. Meanwhile, Wilson's character starts seeing his own side to the City of Love, but it's not clear what he's really doing on his late-night walks. There's no question that Owen and Rachel have charm to spare, and Paris is the perfect backdrop for any film, but the trailer boasts only a few chuckles (and we barely glimpse the rest of the cast, which includes Marion Cotillard, Adrien Brody and Kathy Bates). The good news is that we won't have to wait long to find out more about the movie, as it's set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Watch the preview for yourself when you read more.
