Allen sues Amazon Studios

Director Woody Allen has filed a a $68-million suit against Amazon Studios alleging that the online streaming platform has refused to distribute one of his films and abandoned a multi-picture deal. Allen claimed that Amazon has breached the signed contract and has refused to release his latest film, A Rainy

Day in New York due to “a 25-year-old, baseless molestation allegation against him”, reports variety.com. “Allegation was already well known to Amazon (and the public) before it entered into four separate deals with Allen — and, in any event it does not provide a basis for Amazon to terminate the contract. “There simply was no legitimate ground for Amazon to renege on its promises,” the lawsuit read.
