Whatever Works
is an
upcoming 2009 comedy
film written and
directed by Woody
Allen. The film is a
comedy featuring
Larry David, Evan
Rachel Wood,
Patricia Clarkson,
Kristen Johnston, Ed
Begley, Jr., Michael
McKean, and Henry Cavill. David stars
as Boris Yelnikoff,
an eccentric,
misanthropic chess
teacher from
Greenwich Village
who comes home one
night and finds a
young woman (Evan
Rachel Wood) lying
on his doorstep. He
takes her in for the
night and eventually
marries her, despite
their 40 year age
difference and her
absent mindedness.
His philosophy on
the matter is that
life is short so he
might as well enjoy
himself. The movie was filmed in New York City, marking Allen's return to his native city after a four-film sojourn in Europe. "It's very classic Woody Allen but it's still different than anything he's done," revealed Wood in a December 2008 interview. Woody Allen has subsequently revealed that the script itself was written in the early 70's, with Zero Mostel in mind for Boris, but that the script was soon shelved after the actors death in 1977. 30 years later, Allen resurfaced the script in an attempt to create a film before a potential threat of an Actors Guild strike. Allen barely changed the script from how it was written in the late '70s before filming, keeping all but the references to 8 Tracks and LPs. On February 2, 2009, Variety reported that Sony Pictures Classics had purchased U.S. distribution rights to Whatever Works. Sony will release the film on June 19, 2009. It premiered on April 22, 2009, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. |
