Can the Random Pairing of Miley Cyrus and Elaine May Make Woody Allen Happy About the Amazon Show He Has to Do?

That Amazon TV show that has been the bane of Woody Allen’s existence is finally starting to take shape. Though a miserable Allen said last May that he hadn’t “had a pleasurable moment since I undertook it,â€Â Deadline reports that Allen has at last found it within himself to cast the thing, hiring an ensemble that includes none other than twerked-out psychedelic princess of pop Miley Cyrus and the inimitable actress and screenwriter Elaine May. What a pair! They’ll be starring alongside Allen in a period piece set in the 1960s. Allen, who has written and will direct all six half-hour episodes, said that production would begin in March, which will give Miley and Elaine plenty of time to smoke some salvia and do trust falls with one another.
