Allen, 86, spoke in a rare interview to actor
Alec Baldwin about his career and his new book "Zero Gravity," a
collection of humor essays.
"A lot of the thrill is gone," Allen said of filmmaking.
"When I used to do a film, it would go into a movie house all
across the country. Now you do a movie and you get a couple
weeks in a movie house, maybe six weeks or four weeks and then
it goes right to streaming or pay-per-view ... it's not as
enjoyable to me."
Allen gave no details about his upcoming movie, which would be
his 50th.
The four-time Oscar-winning director of "Annie Hall" and other
comedies has repeatedly denied the accusation that he molested
his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 1992.
Many celebrities and executives in Hollywood distanced
themselves from Allen after the #MeToo movement went global in
2017 and sparked new attention on sexual misconduct.
HBO revisited the allegation against Allen in the 2021 series
"Allen v. Farrow."
Baldwin, who has appeared in three of Allen's films, did not
raise the topic during the interview, which was streamed live on
Baldwin's Instagram page.
On Sunday, Baldwin wrote on Instagram that he had "ZERO INTEREST
in anyone’s judgments and sanctimonious posts" about his planned
interview.
Baldwin's last movie, "Rust," ended in tragedy when a gun he was
holding fired a live round that killed cinematographer Halyna
Hutchins. Baldwin said he did not fire the gun and was
"heartbroken" by the incident.
