Scarlett in Barcelona, Day 5
Saturday, July 14th, 2007
Now that the shooting has begun we are slowly finding out who are the other actors involved in Woody Allen’s film project, working title “Midnight in Barcelona.”
How can I forget Patricia Clarkson, who has been seen with Scarlett on the shooting yesterday, a fine actress whose talents is so immense. Aside from Ms. Clarkson, Rebecca Hall, Kevin Dunn, Pablo Schreiber (Liev’s brother), Carrie Preston, Chris Messina and Abel Folk will keep Scarlett, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem’s company.
Anyway, I found the timetable (complete with the fan’s comments) of the shooting, courtesy of a curious cineaste. (I assumed the film enthusiast is a he.) In his diary, he found himself entranced with Scarlett and quite understood why Woody is so fascinated with the actress.
Then I saw Scarlett Johansson for the third time in my life. In less than a week. Her hair is blonde and quite impressive. What a feeling to see her so close going inside a black van. She looks so wonderful. I understand Woody Allen wants her to be her muse.
He also mentioned that Woody Allen is without a star attitude. The director didn’t mind fetching his own food from the catering vehicle.

This old house from the 17th century
is not in center of town and I did not
know about its existence. It looks
gorgoeous
No doubt the government of Barcelona is grateful of Woody Allen and Co.’s presence. How about the average citizens? Are they happy that Hollywood is raging their city, which now slowly loses its tradition of practicing siesta because of globalisation?
Hmmmm…
Check out a couple of videos where the people who got interviewed when the crew shot scenes on the beach and at the restaurant were simply amused judging from their faces. (All in Spanish.)

Daniel Radcliffe, better known as Harry Potter and everyone’s favourite teenager, cited Aishwarya Rai, Christina Ricci, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett and Ben Stiller as his favourite actors. Aside from adoring his idols, he didn’t like the Harry Potter books when he first read them. He also plays the bass guitar. Actor Gary Oldman taught him how to do it. And he is one of Britain’s richest teenager with an astonishing 23 million pounds as a fortune. Most of all, he doesn’t read himself on the gossips rags.
It is recently revealed that former US Vice President Al Gore asked the support of Scarlett during the actress’ 10-day visit to the affected areas of 2004 Asian tsunami, sponsored by Oxfam this year. The politician turned environmental activist has been fervent on making the awareness as pop culture as possible.
