I’ve been a little late to the magic that is Woody Allen. My first film of his being Midnight in Paris. But I have to say ever since, I’ve been a fan, renting and digging out his earlier movies, and eagerly awaiting his latest ones like Blue Jasmine. And much to my excitement and surprise, at least for me, out of no where, a trailer for a new movie has been released.
And the title of this film? Magic in the Moonlight, and you can check out the trailer after the jump.
Magic in the Moonlight is written and directed by Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Annie Hall, Manhattan). The film follows an Englishman (Colin Firth) brought in to help unmask a possible swindle by a fortune teller (Emma Stone). Personal and professional complications ensue in the story that unfold in the south of France in the 1920s against a backdrop of wealthy mansions, the Côte d’Azur, jazz joints and fashionable spots for the wealthy of the Jazz Age. Marcia Gay Harden, Hamish Linklater, Jacki Weaver and more star in the film which Sony Pictures Classics releases July 15th.
Excited?
