Officials in Rio de Janeiro are offering US movie mogul Woody Allen R$ 3 million (equivalent to US$ 1.6 million) to bring his film crew down and make the city and state the location for his upcoming picture. The offer seems to have caught Allen’s attention and this week, his sister and aide arrived in Rio to discuss the project and visit possible locations shoots. Rio hopes a film by Allen will promote the state and city, similarly to what ’Vicky Cristina Barcelona’, did for the Spanish city last year.
