Is Woody Allen's film career over? It looks like it could be time up for the Oscar winner after Amazon Studio has now made the shock decision to indefinitely postpone the release of his new movie.

A Rainy Day in New York, which is Woody Allen’s 48th film, was set to be released by Amazon later this year. But it appears that they've now backtracked. “No release date has ever been set," the distributor is now saying.

And it might now never see the light of day, according to a report in the New York Post. Sources estimate that dropping the film could cost Amazon $25m. The movie was part of a five-picture deal Amazon struck up with Allen back in 2016.

The uncertainty over the fate of the new movie follows comments by some Hollywood stars distancing themselves from Allen. The 83-year-old director was accused by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, of sexually abusing her 26 years ago. Claims he's always strenuously denied.

Allen was investigated back in 1992 after his ex wife Mia Farrow, probably best known as the star of the classic horror Rosemary's Baby, reported him. But no charges were ever brought against him.

New interest in the historical allegations surfaced during the #MeToo movement that swept Hollywood. Perhaps somewhat ironically, the #MeToo movement was spearheaded by Woody Allen’s own son, Ronan Farrow, who first broke the Harvey Weinstein story in 2017.

But even though Allen has always denied the allegation and was never formally charged with a crime, he appears guilty as sin in the court of public opinion and Amazon obviously felt huge pressure to can the movie. Timothée Chalamet, Griffin Newman and Rebecca Hall all received backlash for accepting roles in Allen’s film. It promoted them all to donate their wages from A Rainy Day in New York to various charities for victims of sexual abuse.

Hall admitted that she regretted working for Allen, saying: “My actions have made another woman feel silenced and dismissed."

It was revealed earlier this week that Allen's now taking a break from making movies. A source told Fox News that Allen has been unable to source finances for his films since the #MeToo movement made him "toxic."

The source added: “For years, he’s been going from one financier to another. He even went to Europe. But he’s run out of options.”

But now that Amazon has shelved his film, which may never see the light of day if emerging Stateside reports are to be believed, it could very well now be the end of the road for Woody Allen's film career.

In an interview with Argentinian news outlet Periodismo Para Todos back in June, Woody Allen took many of his critics aback when he said: "I’m a big advocate of the #MeToo movement. I feel when they find people who harass innocent women and men, it’s a good thing that they’re exposing them. But you know I, I should be the poster boy for the #MeToo movement.”

He added: “Because I have worked in movies for 50 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of actresses and not a single one – big ones, famous ones, ones starting out – have ever, ever suggested any kind of impropriety at all. I’ve always had a wonderful record with them.”

Speaking about Harvey Weinstein's arrest, Woody Allen also told that Argentinian news outlet: “Everyone wants justice to be done. If there is something like the #MeToo movement now, you root for them, you want them to bring to justice these terrible harassers, these people who do all these terrible things. And I think that’s a good thing.”

Back in January, the Oscar winning director released a statement denying he sexually abused his adopted daughter when she was seven-years-old. He was prompted to release the statement after the now 32-year-old Dylan Farrow, whose adoptive Grandmother was the Irish actress Maureen O'Sullivan, conducted her first in-depth TV interview back in January about the abuse she claims she suffered at her adopted father's hands.

Dylan Farrow told of her "outrage", "hurt" and anger after "years of being ignored (and) disbelieved" about claims that she was sexually assaulted by Woody Allen

Woody Allen has always denied allegations that he abused his adopted daughter when she was seven-years-old.

In a statement released to CBS News back in January, Woody Allen stated: “When this claim was first made more than 25 years ago, it was thoroughly investigated by both the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of the Yale-New Haven Hospital and New York State Child Welfare.

“They both did so many months and independently concluded that no molestation had ever taken place.”

Afterwards, Dylan was showing a clip of Allen denying the claims and she responded by saying:“He’s lying and he’s been lying for so long, and it is difficult for me to see him and to hear his voice.”

At the time, Allen also repeated his claim that he believes Dylan was brainwashed into making the allegations because her adopted mother wanted revenge because he had started a relationship with another one of her adopted children, Soon Yi Previn.

“It seems to have worked – and, sadly, I’m sure Dylan truly believes what she says,”his statement read.

“But even though the Farrow family is cynically using the opportunity afforded by the Time’s Up movement to repeat this discredited allegation, that doesn’t make it any more true today than it was in the past.

"I never molested my daughter – as all investigations concluded a quarter of a century ago.”
Dylan also dismissed his story that she was brainwashed into claiming all this. "What I don’t understand is how is this crazy story of me being brainwashed and coached more believable than what I’m saying about being sexually assaulted by my father.”

Asked why people should believe her claim, she responded: "I suppose that’s on them, but all I can do is speak my truth and hope, hope that somebody will believe me instead of just hearing.”

Dylan said that she was inspired to come forward and do the interview because of the #TimeUp campaign.

“It was very momentous for me to see this conversation finally carried into a public setting,” she said. “Because I have been saying this – I have been repeating my accusations unaltered for over 20 years and I have been systematically shut down, ignored, or discredited.

"If they can’t acknowledge the accusations of one survivor how are they going to stand for all of us?”

Tomorrow you will see the me my family and friends know. The raw and honest reality. No airs, just the truth. I wanted to face you, I wanted you to see me; not as a Farrow, not as a figure, but as a woman telling the truth to honor the little girl that got left behind. /3 end.

She also said: "Why shouldn't I feel some sort of outrage... after all these years of being ignored, disbelieved and tossed aside?"

She added: "Why shouldn’t I want to bring him down? Why shouldn’t I be angry? Why shouldn’t I be hurt?
"All I can do is speak my truth and hope - hope that somebody will believe me rather than just hearing."

Moses Farrow had penned an emotional blog a few months ago in which he claims that his sister was not sexually assaulted by their adoptive father.

In the blog, Moses Farrow starts off: "I’m a very private person and not at all interested in public attention. But, given the incredibly inaccurate and misleading attacks on my father, Woody Allen, I feel that I can no longer stay silent as he continues to be condemned for a crime he did not commit.

"I was present for everything that transpired in our house before, during, and after the alleged event. Now that the public hysteria of earlier this year has died down a little and I have some hope that the truth can get a fair hearing, I want to share my story."

Disputing his sister's claims that she was sexually abused, Moses writes: "Dylan was alone with Woody in his apartment countless times over the years without a hint of impropriety, yet some would have you believe that at the age of 56, he suddenly decided to become a child molester in a house full of hostile people ordered to watch him like a hawk.”

But Dylan Farrow has now dismissed her brother's blog as "an attempt to deflect from a credible allegation made by an adult woman, by trying to impugn my mother who has only ever been supportive of me and my siblings.”

“It’s easily disproven, contradicts years of his own statements, is beyond hurtful to me personally, and is part of a larger effort to discredit and distract from my assault,” she told People magazine. “My brother is a troubled person. I’m so sorry he’s doing this.”

One of the things that I have found most disturbing about sharing my story is how many strangers feel compelled to tell me what I “really” experienced and what my family is “really” like.

To presume I invented this story & convinced myself of it is no less insulting than calling me a liar. I’ve consistently stated the truth for 25 years, I won’t stop now. It’s Stephens’ right to doubt me if he so chooses but his incredulity doesn’t change what happened that day./2
