Woody Allen film production in Spain

Overview

Director Woody Allen is preparing to film a new feature project in Spain, marking his third production in the country. The film is expected to be shot primarily in English with an estimated budget between 12 million and 14 million euros.

To secure public funding from the regional government of Madrid and the Madrid City Council, the production must meet specific conditions. These include featuring the word ‘Madrid’ in the film’s title and filming at least 15 percent of scenes in the city’s exterior locations to highlight its architecture and history.

In addition to local subsidies, producers are pursuing tax incentives, grants from the Spanish film institute (ICAA), and television rights to cover the budget. While there has been media speculation regarding the casting of Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, the plot and official cast remain undisclosed.
