It will be Allen's 36th movie but the first to be shot entirely outside of New York.

"I have a great admiration for English actors and actresses and have used them at every opportunity over the years, but now I won't have to import them to New York," Allen said. "My family and I love the idea of spending the summer here (in London). I only hope I can live up to the high standards of British movies I grew up with."
