The Amazing Spider-Man star, who claims Allen “goes to great lengths” to keep his scripts under wraps, didn’t even meet with the director before she was offered the part.
“I didn’t physically see him. He didn’t pull me into any room and he wasn’t there when I read the script. Someone gave me the script. His assistant gave me the script and I read it, gave it back to her and then left,” she said.
Charming without being laugh-out-loud funny, Magic in the Moonlight seems like it is going to be casting its own spell. Shot on 35-mm by Darius Khnondji, who seems to catch every dust particle in the diffuse lemony light, the film is Allen’s most exquisite-looking movie in quite a while.
