According to the director, one of the films, A Rainy Day in New York, should be finished already, but Amazon has not released it in six months.

According to Allen's lawyers, Amazon bases its decision on 25-year-old "baseless" allegations of sexual abuse.

Woody Allen's adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow has long accused his father of sexual abuse and the director has continuously denied the allegations, calling them "untrue" and "disgraceful".

Infringement charges against Woody Allen gained momentum again in connection with the metoo movement. In 2018, several actors announced that they would never again work with the multiple Academy Award-winning Woody Allen - including Greta Gerwig, Michael Caine and Ellen Page.
