Woody Allen Determined To Reunite With Scarlett Johansson

Woody Allen has stated his desire to work with Scarlett Johansson again.

The pair have worked together on three films in the past, Match Point, Scoop and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, but decided to take a break for fear of seeing their partnership burn out.

The veteran filmmaker told Vanity Fair: "I have every intention of working with her again, but I just didn’t think it was a great idea for either one of us to work together too intensely, picture after picture.

"I didn't want her to be burdened by, 'Oh, she's in all the Woody Allen pictures, it's so predictable', and she's my new muse, and all that silliness."

For her part, Johansson is also keen to work with the director again, saying: "I don't think anything's played out. I'm waiting for him to write my Citizen Kane."

Allen recently changed the title of his Rome-set film from The Bop Decameron to Nero Fiddled.
