Woody Allen has confirmed that he will be shooting a new film this autumn in Paris, and said it would likely be his last.

Speaking to actor Alec Baldwin on Instagram Live for over an hour on Tuesday, the 86-year-old Jewish filmmaker said: “A lot of the thrill is gone. Now you do a movie and you get a couple of weeks in a movie house, and then it goes to streaming or pay per view.

“It’s not the same. It’s not as enjoyable to me,” he added.

Allen and Baldwin have previously worked together on the films Alice (1990), To Rome With Love (2012) and Blue Jasmine (2013).

Allen has made 49 films so far in his career, and two were released during the pandemic - A Rainy Day in New York and the Spanish-set Rifkin’s Festival.

A Rainy Day in New York, which is a romcom starring Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet, topped the box office charts, but Rifkin’s Festival did not achieve particular success.

The romcom was Allen’s first film since his deal with Amazon fell apart amid renewed attention on the 1992 allegation that he sexually abused his adopted daughter, Dylan.

Two investigations into the allegations have not resulted in any charges against Allen, and he has consistently denied the allegations.

Baldwin is also facing multiple lawsuits after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of a new western, Rust, for which he was a producer and also the star.

Both men avoided the controversies entirely during the conversation, which Baldwin had suggested in a post ahead of time: “Let me preface this by stating that I have ZERO INTEREST in anyone’s judgments and sanctimonious posts here.

“I am OBVIOUSLY someone who has my own set of beliefs and COULD NOT CARE LESS about anyone else’s speculation. If you believe that a trial should be conducted by way of an HBO documentary, that’s your issue.”
