Found in: Movies, ReviewsWoody is angry: American auteur sues American Apparel
American Apparel, those purveyors of so many solid-colored, jersey-knit garments, have managed to anger the king of the neurotic comedy. Woody Allen filed a lawsuit Monday against the clothing line for using an image of him dressed as a rabbi from his film Annie Hall in an ad, asserting that he had given no permission for the usage.

The Associated Press reports Allen wants at least $10 million in compensatory damages and unspecified punitive damages for the the unauthorized... read more

It's also the first of the three without Scarlett Johansson, though she'll be back next year to star in his first Spanish project, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, alongside Penelope Cruz. For whatever reason, it always feels as if Allen's trailers are composed of a... read more
