WOODY ALLEN - WOODY CANCELS PARIS PROJECT

Director WOODY ALLEN has abruptly cancelled plans to shoot his next film in Paris, deciding to return to a previous movie project to be filmed in London. MICHELLE WILLIAMS and DAVID KRUMHOLTZ had already been cast in the film, but sources close to Allen say the movie's budget was escalating and the British film looked like a better option. The London-based picture is completely separate from the Paris project and will include a different cast. Allen shot MATCH POINT last year in the city (05), as well as upcoming journalism film SCOOP.
