Introducing Wednesday's New York premiere of
Woody Allen's "
Vicky Cristina Barcelona,"
The Weinstein Company chief
Harvey Weinstein (second from left) called out to film co-star
Javier Bardem (left), joking that the actor and co-star
Penelope Cruz (far right)first met while working together on a Spanish version of "Heidi." "I think Javier was sixty at the time," Weinstein teased. Of course, the two famously shared the screen in
Bigas Luna's "
Jamon, Jamon" in the early 90s. Concluding a round of remarks Weinstein noted that the "Vicky Cristina" marks the sixth time he's worked with Woody Allen. "Each one of them is an adventure," Weinstein added, "Each one is a pleasure." Pictured (left to right) are: Bardem, Weinstein,
Patricia Clarkson, and Cruz.
