| Woody Allen faces 'career break' for the first time in 45 years | |
| The film’s producer, Amazon Studios, which signed a five-movie contract with Allen in 2016, announced in August that “no date has been set” for the film’s release, and it is thought it may lose up to $25m (£19m) if the film does not come out. Amazon was responding to mounting disquiet from #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigners after Farrow repeated her allegation of sex assault against her father in an LA Times editorial in December 2017, and a TV interview in January 2018. Woody Allen has denied the allegations made by Farrow. | The film’s producer, Amazon Studios, which signed a five-movie contract with Allen in 2016, announced in August that “no date has been set” for the film’s release, and it is thought it may lose up to $25m (£19m) if the film does not come out.

| When asked if he considered joining Chalamet and Hall in attacking Allen, Law said: “I didn’t really want to get involved, to be honest. I just don’t feel like it was my place to comment, and it’s too delicate a situation. I feel like enough has been said about it. It’s a private affair.” | When asked if he considered joining Chalamet and Hall in attacking Allen, Law said: “I didn’t really want to get involved, to be honest.

| Actors remain divided as to whether they would work with Allen again. Colin Firth, Mira Sorvino and Greta Gerwig are among those who say they won’t, while Javier Bardem said: “If he called me … I’d be there tomorrow morning.” Law was more equivocal, saying: “I don’t know. I’d have to consider carefully.” | Actors remain divided as to whether they would work with Allen again.
