Woody Allen Casts His New Movie: Andrew Dice Clay? Really?

Woody Allen, fresh off the critical reception of Midnight In Paris, his most popular film ever, has To Rome With Love coming out late June. And the Woodman just announced the casting of his next film, to be shot this summer in San Francisco.

If you're like me, you try to imagine what Allen has up his sleeve when he casts his films...because that's all we know about them until they open. (Notoriously secretive, Allen only gives cast members script pages that they need. No one ever sees a completed script.)

And Allen's casting is usually spot on. Diane Keaton, Dianne Weist, Michael Caine, Penelope Cruz, and Mira Sorvino have all won Oscars for their roles in his films.

The casting for this new film is a very eclectic mix.  Alec Baldwin, one of To Rome With Love's co-stars, again joins Allen. Also Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, Lost star Michael Emerson, British actress Sally Hawkins, Green Lantern star Peter Sarsgaard, and two vastly different comedians--Louis C.K. and Andrew "Dice" Clay.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have come up with that combination of actors. Okay Woody, now we're interested.
