Woody Allen has largely been missing from the American entertainment scene for quite some time now. Majorly working in Europe, the director’s career in the US seems to have gone only downhill ever since the s*xual abuse allegations against him by his adopted daughter.

Yet the director is back now in American theatres with his latest romantic thriller, Coup de Chance. However, the director seems to have no plans to continue making movies, as he recently revealed in a new interview after making a shocking claim about the craft.
Woody Allen States ‘The Romance of Filmmaking’ is Gone
Woody Allen’s Coup de Chance
Woody Allen has been in the entertainment business for more than six decades now. An actor, filmmaker, and comedian, Allen has several accolades to his name that make him one of the best filmmakers of contemporary times. But like any other celebrity, Allen has not been free from controversies.
Over three decades ago, the actor was accused of allegedly s*xually abusing his adopted daughter (via NY Times), the impact of which can still be felt on his career. After recently reentering the American theatres with his latest Coup de Chance, the director sat down with Air Mail for an exclusive interview and stated,
“It doesn’t matter to me whether I get distributed here [America] or not. Once I make it, I don’t follow it anymore. Distribution is no longer what it was. Now distribution is two weeks in a cinema… And then that’s it. I mean, ‘Annie Hall’ played in movie houses in New York for a little bit over a year. It’d be in one theater for six, seven months, and then somebody would pick it up and it would hang around another few months. The whole business has changed, and not in an appealing way. All the romance of filmmaking is gone.”
While some would argue otherwise, Allen seems to have given up on the craft. yet he revealed he might consider it if presented with a no-strings opportunity.

Thus, while talking to Air Mail recently, the director was asked if he would ever make a movie again. And he remarked,
“I’m on the fence about it. I don’t want to have to go out to raise money. I find that a pain in the neck. But if someone shows up and calls in and says we want to back the film, then I would seriously consider it… I would probably not have the willpower to say no, because I have so many ideas”
While he seems to be on the fence about returning to filmmaking, Allen in the end made a shocking claim that he has never really adored the movie-making business.
“There are many directors who love the whole business of making movies, choosing the costumes and working with actors. I never loved any of that.”
Despite the success that Woody Allen has achieved as a filmmaker, the director appears to have given up on the whole craft. While he does remain open to the possibility of returning to filmmaking, only time will tell what the future holds for the director.
