Madrid will give Woody Allen £1.3m for his next film – but only if it bears city’s name

Madrid’s regional government will invest £1.3m in Woody Allen’s next film, on one condition: the title must include the city’s name and it must be filmed in the Spanish capital region.

According to a contract released by the regional government, the funding of €1.5m for the film by Allen, 89, is structured in three instalments of €150,000 in 2025, €600,000 in 2026 and €750,000 in 2027.
