Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 5:25 pm · July 25th, 2013

The obvious question when you’re talking to an actress who has just finished a collaboration with Woody Allen, an actress like “Blue Jasmine” star Cate Blanchett, for instance, is whether that specific collaboration an actor’s dream.

Woody Allen heads back to France with Colin Firth and Emma Stone

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 11:17 am · April 30th, 2013
