Woody Allen is not bringing his career as movie director to an end. Over the weekend, in an interview published by Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, the 86-year-old Oscar winner suggested that his upcoming movie, “Wasp 22”, will be his last.
On Monday, a rep for Allen issued a statement to IndieWire clarifying that the director is not retiring following his next project. “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,” the statement reads.
