Woody Allen Denies He's Retiring After Interview Comments Spread Online

A rep for Woody spoke out on Monday (September 19) and confirmed that the director is not retiring.

The statement read, “Woody Allen never said he was retiring, not 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.”

His most recent film was Rifkin’s Festival, which grossed just $2.3 million, and received a limited release in the United States. A star of the film defended their decision to work on the movie amid sexual abuse allegations against the director.

Another big star just revealed they turned down the opportunity to work with the director amid the allegations.
