Chasing pellets: Meet the Pac-Man world champions | Add to My AOL, MyYahoo, Google, Bloglines Add to: My AOL, MyYahoo, Google, Bloglines More Cast Added for Woody's 'Midnight in Barcelona' Posted Jul 2nd 2007 8:02PM by Ryan Stewart Woody Allen held a press conference in Barcelona Monday to announce some new cast members of his latest film, which begins shooting in the city on July 9.
