Nero Fiddled^[1] is an upcoming romantic comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen, scheduled to be released in 2012.^[2] The film is set in Rome, Italy.^[3] The film stars Jesse Eisenberg^{[4] [5] [6] [7][8] [9] [10]} and Allen himself in his first acting role since 2006's Scoop.^[11]

Plot

Nero Fiddled (formerly titled The Bop Decameron) was perceived to have been a modern-day take on Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron",^[10] but Allen later insisted that the film has no connection to the stories.^[1] It will consist of four vignettes--one of which will consist of a husband (played by Allen) and his wife (played by Cruz) traveling to Rome, and meeting the family of the Italian man that their daughter is going to marry. Another of the vignettes will feature Roberto Benigni as a man named Leopoldo who gets mistaken for a movie star. A third segment will feature Alec Baldwin as an architect from California visiting Rome with his friends. A fourth segment will include two newlyweds (Alessandro Tiberi and Alessandra Mastronardi) going to Rome in order to visit some relatives but instead getting lost in the city. ^[12]
