In Madrid to present two of his actors, Alexi Wasser and Peter Vives, Woody Allen, 90, revealed some details about his upcoming plans to shoot in the Spanish capital for the first time.

“Madrid is a very elegant and beautiful city and perfect for the kind of atmosphere that I wanted for the story,” said Allen who disclosed that his new film would have a diplomatic setting.

“It’s a comedy with a romance, with intrigue, with infidelity and all the ingredients that I always think it is going to make a great story. I think I have all the ingredients for a very good movie, but that remains to be seen. Now comes the hard part. I’ve got to make the movie and put it together, and it has to live up to my expectations. That doesn’t mean that it will, but I’ll do my best,” he said.
