Allen Dismisses Johansson Collaboration Reports

Legendary filmmaker WOODY ALLEN has denied reports he is teaming up with
SCARLETT JOHANSSON for a new New York-based movie.

Johansson, who has starred in recent Allen films Match Point and Scoop, was
said to be making her directorial debut on New York, I Love You – a collection
of 12 short films, each with a different director.

However, Allen insists he has never heard of the project.

He tells MTV.com, “(It’s) a complete and total fabrication. Made up like a
poem by Coleridge. Completely untrue. It wasn’t even grounded in any
conversations or anything.”
