Woody Allen is sticking to his vow to turn his back on filming in his native New York - his next movie will be shot in Rome.
The legendary director, who became synonymous with the Big Apple through movies including Manhattan and Annie Hall, last year (10) revealed he can no longer afford the cost of shooting on the city's streets.
And Allen is keeping his promise to use locations in Europe for filming - he has chosen Rome as the backdrop for his next project.
He tells Italian newspaper La Repubblica, "I love these sophisticated cities.
"It's fantastic to have the possibility to work there, like when I shot Manhattan in New York, Match Point in London and Vicky Cristina Barcelona in Barcelona...
"Each time, it's like a declaration of love for certain places. I project onto the big screen my feelings for places which count a lot in my life.
"I hope to do the same thing with Rome."
