After a Spanish newspaper reported that Woody Allen said was retiring from making movies in order to dedicate more time to writing, a representative for the director has shot down the claims in a statement to Variety.
“Woody Allen never said he was retiring, nor did he say he was writing another novel. He said he was thinking about not making films as making films that go straight or very quickly to streaming platforms is not so enjoyable for him, as he is a great lover of the cinema experience. Currently, he has no intention of retiring and is very excited to be in Paris shooting his new movie, which will be the 50th,” a statement read.
While in Europe to work on his 50th film, Allen, 86, was quoted by La Vanguardia as saying that he planned to retire from filmmaking and was going to turn his attention to writing.
