Director Woody Allen has denied reports claiming he was looking to retire and focus on writing.
“Woody Allen never said he was retiring, nor did he say he was writing another novel,” his team said in a statement to Variety.
“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,” the statement added.
The Wonder Wheel director also said that his upcoming movie would be “exciting, dramatic and also very sinister.”
