Secret meeting in Barcelona

Now we know what Harvey Weinstein’s secret trip to Barcelona was all about last week. Weinstein was actually securing the participation of Penelope Cruz in the musical drama “Nine”, Chicago director Rob Marshall’s latest musical.  Nine will revolve around Bardem’s character; play director Guido Contini, who must juggle all of the women in his life while he puts on his masterwork. His lovers include his wife, his mistress, his film-star muse, his agent, and even his mother. The script is based on Fellini’s Eight and a Half.

Penelope Cruz is currently in Barcelona for the shooting of Woody Allen’s new movie. It is about a painter entering a relationship with two American tourists. Conflict begins with the painter’s jealous ex-girlfriend. Unfortunately for Allen, the filming in Barcelona is not certain to be set; some residents in Barcelona are furious that their tax money is being used to fund Woody Allen’s new movie. Ten per cent of the new film by Woody Allen comes from the city of Barcelona and regional government, paid by tax payers. Seventy-five percent of Catalans think that the public investment is “excessive”. A local director said: “Along comes Woody Allen with all his money and success and they help him? I could make five films with his budget.” On the other side, others say the investment in The Barcelona Project of Allen will promote Barcelona in the same way that Lord of the Rings helped New Zealand.
