#MeToo impact: Release of Woody Allen's new movie stalled

How the mighty falls. Award-winning filmmaker Woody Allen's work has been celebrated by film enthusiasts for decades. But the man who has made films like 'Annie Hall' and 'Midnight In Paris' is not finding any takers for his new movie- 'A Rainy Day In New York'.

Distributors Amazon Studios on Thursday stated that it had not decided on a release date for the film which stars Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Hall and Jude Law in the lead. Traditionally Allen releases a movie each year, but if media reports are anything to go by, his latest perhaps will never be released.

The release of Woody Allen`s latest film was cast into doubt on Thursday after distributor Amazon Studios said it had not decided on a release date.

The uncertainty over the fate of 'A Rainy Day in New York' follows comments by some Hollywood celebrities distancing themselves from Allen during the #MeToo movement highlighting sexual misconduct that has swept the entertainment industry in the past year.

Allen has repeatedly denied decades-old accusations that he molested his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow when she was 7 years old in the early 1990s.

Chalamet and Hall in January joined some other actors from previous Woody Allen movies in donating their salaries to causes supporting sexual abuse victims or saying they regretted working with the director.

Allen`s last movie, 'Wonder Wheel,' starring Kate Winslet, did poorly at the box office, taking in only $1.4 million since its December 2017 arrival in movie theatres.
