The making of 'Whatever Works'

Woody Allen on turning one of his films into a Broadway musical…

"I would have no interest in that whatsoever. None. Producers call all the time, and they wanna make 'Bullets Over Broadway' and 'Purple Rose of Cairo' [pictured] into a musical. And I don’t care. I have no interest in writing it, seeing it, knowing about it. But some of them, I think, would make great musicals in the right hands. The odds of pulling it off are not in your favor. So what would happen is they get the rights to one of my movies, make it into a musical, and it'll be a terrible musical and everyone would be angry at me!"
