Filmmaker Woody Allen has announced his retirement from filmmaking.
Speaking with Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia whilst prepping to work on his 50th film in Europe, the 86-year-old Allen says he intends to retire from making movies and spend more time to writing.
What is now set to be his final film, “Wasp 22,” is set in Paris and will be shot with an all-French cast. Said to be a poisonous romantic thriller in the vein of “Match Point,” filming begins in a couple of weeks.
Earlier this year, Allen revealed in a live-stream interview with Alec Baldwin he plans to direct ‘one or two more’ films, but with the decline of the theatrical experience the “thrill is gone”.
