Woody Allen has no plans to stop making films. A spokesperson for the 86-year-old director announced this to the American media on Monday after rumors circulated about it.
The misunderstanding arose after an interview with the Spanish newspaper The vanguard, in which Allen said he wanted to retire after his 50th film. “He never said he wants to quit,” his spokesperson said. “But he prefers not to make movies that go directly to a streaming platform. He is a huge fan of the cinematic experience.”

In June, the American director said in an interview with Alec Baldwin that he planned to direct “one or two other” films. “When I was making movies, they used to go to theaters all over the country. Now you make a movie that plays in a movie theater for a few weeks, maybe six or four, before it goes to a streaming service or pay channel. It’s not. the same thing. I like it a lot less, “he said at the time.
