Director Woody Allen will direct “one or two more movies” before he retires, because he has lost “the thrill” and “it’s not fun anymore,” the filmmaker announced in an interview on actor Alec Baldwin’s Instagram page.
“I’m going to do one or two more movies and I’m going to dedicate myself to writing,” Woody Allen said in the last part of a conversation with the American actor to promote his new book, “Zero Gravity.”
The reason for the lack of motivation of the 86-year-old director lies in the reduction in the number of weeks films stay in theaters and in the way in which the film industry and consumption have changed.
I used to make a movie and it was in theaters all over the country. [Estados Unidos]. Now you do it and it lasts two weeks in the cinema, maybe four or six, and then the public already has it on streaming platforms or through pay-per-view.

Also, during the conversation also talked about the release of “Zero Gravity”a compendium of humorous short stories to be published in the United States in August.
“The difference between a short story and a long novel is that a novel can be 10 times longer, but 100 times harder,” he argued about why he did not consider taking the step of investing in this genre.
Woody Allen will soon travel to Paris, where he will stay for several months to shoot a film that, although untitled, will be a drama mixed with black humor along the lines of his other films, such as “Match Point” (2005).
