When you think Woody Allen, actors like Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts and Mia Farrow are the names that most immediately come to mind. But these days, the king of all New York filmmakers has been busy injecting his usual recipe with some spicy Spanish flavoring.

“Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” star Javier Bardem told us of the film’s title. “That’s the name of the American characters, which are Rebecca Hall (The Prestige) and Scarlett Johansson. [They’re] the two girls that go to our salon; but I don’t know if that is going to be the final title or not.”

As any fan of the 71-year-old filmmaker knows, not only is Allen still doing his best to crank out a movie a year (he’s only missed 1991 since the early Eighties), but he has also maintained a Spielberg-esque routine of keeping his modestly-budgeted films as secret as possible.

Scarlett Johansson is featured in Let Me In, a new book of photographs by Mario Testino. Thanks to the ever-wonderful Jen, we have high quality scans of it. Enjoy!

The Nanny Diaries will be available to own on DVD (R1) from December 4, 2007, and should retail at around $29.95. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include behind the scenes featurettes, and a blooper reel.

I’ve re-capped and made clips of two of Scarlett’s early movies – Just Cause and If Lucy Fell. Her roles are very small in both but I think she still does a good job and appears very natural. Check out the clips and let me know what you think!
