Madrid-Backed Woody Allen Film Includes City-Name Clause and Festival Premiere

Woody Allen’s next film, set in Madrid and produced by Wanda Vision, Gravier Productions, and 3SIX9 Studios, will receive about €3 million in public funding from the Madrid Regional Government and Madrid City Council, with an estimated €4 million more to be raised from tax credits, ICAA, and a TV prebuy; the roughly $11.4 million budget requires the title to include the word 'Madrid' and a festival premiere, with at least 15% exterior filming in the city and most of the investment spent there to support jobs and screen tourism as Madrid seeks to boost its profile through Allen’s movie.
