PARIS — France’s film commission is disappointed: Woody Allen won’t shoot his next movie in Paris after all.

Allen has been working on a Paris script, but it turned out to be too ambitious for his budget, the commission said Thursday in a statement.

Instead, he will return to an earlier project set in London, where he shot 2005’s “Match Point.”

“This is obviously bad news for French film networks and professionals, who were already delighted to be able to work with Monsieur Allen,” the Film France commission said in a statement.
