It must be his magnetic personality, or perhaps his goofy glasses, but Woody Allen has a gift for getting high profile Hollywood talent to be in his movies for next to nothing. His latest movie is no different.

The Untitled Woody Allen Project will film in his native New York this Spring and welcome Glenn Close and Danny DeVito to the cast. It was previously announced that Christina Ricci and Jason Biggs have agreed to appear in the film about three young adults struggling to find themselves and each other in the Big Apple.

As you might recall, Woody is a huge fan of New York, filming almost all of his movies there. He even introduced a tribute to New York at last week's Academy Awards ceremony.
