Does Woody Allen have some sort of grudge against Germany? The filmmaker had flirted with the idea of setting his next movie there as recently as August, but now, The Hollywood Reporter writes that Allen and his producers are in talks with Danish authorities to film the production in Copenhagen next year. Then again, THR also claims that Allen won’t make the movie until 2013, which seems like an unusual amount of time off for the prolific, one-film-a-year director; does the source have its wires crossed, or have Allen’s other commitments (he’ll be acting in the film Fading Gigolo and scripting a stage transfer of Bullets Over Broadway) got him too busy?
