Madrid ties €3 million to title and screen-time conditions for Woody Allen's next film

Madrid's regional government requires Woody Allen to include the word "Madrid" in his next film's title, and the City Council mandates that at least 15% of scenes show easily recognisable exteriors, as conditions of roughly €3 million ($3.5 million) in public funding, Variety reports. The film, 'WASP 2026', begins shooting in Madrid on October 5, 2026. Full financing remains contingent on a festival premiere.
