The first trailer for Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love has gone online. Per the synopsis: “The film is comprised of four separate vignettes and tells the story of a number of people in Italy—some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors—and the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into.” The vignette style has its advantages and disadvantages, and I can already tell from the trailer that there will most likely be more than a few stories that could test my patience. Nevertheless, Allen himself is a standout in this trailer, as is the story involving Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin and Ellen Page. The same can’t be said for Penelope Cruz or Robert Benigni‘s stories, both of which veer towards the farcical. Those looking for a Rome take on Midnight in Paris will be sorely disappointed, as To Rome with Love looks to be much more of a straightforward comedy. I’m a big fan of Allen’s, so I’m really hoping that his vignette pic delivers. He’s got an impeccable cast to work with, so fingers crossed.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Judy Davis, Alison Pill, and Greta Gerwig. To Rome with Love opens on June 22nd.

While I can’t say I love the city of Rome, I think this looks fantastic.
By the numbers predictable.
I thought the tseear was just okay. I’m looking forward to the third story of the toys, but this could have just as easily been for a DVD re-release or something. Even the tseear for The Dark Knight back in ’07 didn’t show anything, but at least it gave the audience a listen to Ledger’s Joker voice. I totally agree with your command to go see UP, though. It really is the movie of the summer thus far and has more action, adventure, excitement, and character development than the whole of Indiana Jones 4, which was supposed to be the adventure movie of the decade. Pixar has done it again!
I just got hold of an early copy of Bruce Lee, Woodstock and Me and opened it up inndeting to read a few pages. Several hours and many laughs later, I put it down, feeling I had just spent the afternoon with a funny, worldly raconteur, someone who has every right to drop all the names in this book (and there are dozens of them). In the very early 60s Fred Weintraub was looking for an authentic way to live his life. When he cleared the dirty plaster from the wall in his fledgling club in New York’s Greenwich Village, he revealed beautiful bricks that became an American icon. At the same time, he gave a start to a supremely talented generation of comics and musicians, many of whom went on to become American icons. This book is a delicious journey through five decades of our country’s popular culture, a sharply written, funny, fast-paced memoir filled with terrific anecdotes that involve just about anyone you care to name from the world of film, music or comedy. Way to go Fred, I loved it.
