"He adored New York City... He romanticized it all out of proportion." Park Circus and MGM have unveiled a brand new trailer for the 4K digital re-release this year of Woody Allen's seminal romantic comedy classic Manhattan, which first opened in 1979. It didn't win any Oscars, but it did win Best Film at the BAFTAs. Woody Allen also stars in this, along with Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Mariel Hemingway, Meryl Streep, Anne Byrne, Karen Ludwig and Michael O'Donoghue. The 96-minute film has been carefully restored to 4K, and will be released in NYC first, which is fitting considering it's all about a love for NYC. Ebert wrote in a review from 2001 that "it's more subtle, more complex, and not about love, but loss." Here's the new re-release trailer for Woody Allen's Manhattan, direct from YouTube (via Indiewire): In Manhattan, Isaac Davis is a divorced writer of TV shows unhappy with his job.

It’s been a handful of films since Woody Allen stayed put in the city where he made his name. This summer’s Wonder Wheel will finally mark his return to the Big Apple with a film set solely there, but for those that want to revisit one of his most acclaimed films, the opportunity will arrive shortly. One can not neglect to mention Manhattan when it comes to both the greatest NYC-set movies and the best Woody Allen movies, and now it’s been given a 4K restoration.
Ahead of its 12-day return to theaters at Film Forum starting early next month, Park Circus have released a new trailer, which sparkles with Gordon Willis‘ incredible cinematography, as well as includes some of the film’s most memorable scenes — and, of course, ending with that shot.

Thirty-three years later, Dustin Hoffman's Academy Award-winning role in "Kramer vs. Kramer" still holds a special place in the actor's heart.
"I was getting divorced, I'd been partying with drugs and it depleted me in every way," Hoffman said through tears while being honored by the British Academy of Film & Television Arts on Tuesday. Hoffman was separating from Anne Byrne when "Kramer vs. Kramer" came to him through director Bob Benton, but he didn't accept the role until the script was re-written to accurately replicate his pain. Hoffman and Benton worked on the script, but the actor told ceremony attendees that he didn't request credit for his work. " stupidly turned it down," he said.
In a 2001 documentary about "Kramer vs. Kramer," titled "Finding The Truth: The Making of 'Kramer vs. Kramer,'" Hoffman said that it was the acting itself, and not the dalliance with uncredited screenwriting, that was cathartic....

20th Century Home Entertainment continues to explore their library, releasing Blu-ray editions of popular and important films. Recently, two of Woody Allen’s best films were released and are worth a second look.
Allen as a comedian was a witty, smart writer and performer, coming from a literate line of humor that was in rapid decline by the 1960s. In some ways, he was the bridge between that era and today when men like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert carry the mantle. His early films were very funny and as a director, he was learning the ropes, figuring out what worked while entertaining the masses.
That culminated in Annie Hall, his 1977 serious comedy featuring his then-paramour Diane Keaton. The movie was a quantum leap in sophistication, partially from the smart script co-written with Marshall Brickman, but a most self-assured hand behind the camera. Allen shows a maturity as a filmmaker...

Dustin Hoffman thinks marriage is "unnatural." The 71-year-old actor - who married second wife Lisa Gottsegen in 1980 - struggles to accept the concept of spending your entire life with someone.
He said: "There is something unnatural about marriage. These two people are not going to be the same people in a few years. The trick is to live your own life while sharing the same space."
Despite having his doubts about matrimony, Dustin - who has four children with Lisa and raised two daughters with ex-wife Anne Byrne - thinks it is important to be in a loving relationship.
He said: "I always wanted to just find the girl that I could be with."...
