Appearing at a news conference in Cannes, where his latest movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, had its world premiere over the weekend, Woody Allen was asked by an enthusiastic fan/reporter from Uzbekistan when he might make a film in Russia or Central Asia. To the reporter's chagrin, Allen suggested that he was unlikely ever to do so. A few years ago, he said, he took his family for what was planned as a five-day holiday in Leningrad. "I was there for about two hours and I went to the travel agency in the hotel and I said, 'Get me the first reservation out of here, I don't care where it goes.'" He said that he has been told that things had changed since then, but "it would take a lot to get me back. I don't travel well."
