The latter also recently found himself in turmoil after accidentally killing during a shoot in October the director of photography of one of his films, by handling a firearm.
“I’m probably going to do that extra movie, but a lot of the excitement has evaporated,” the director said.Annie Hall in a live on Alec Baldwin’s Instagram account, punctuated by technical problems.
“I don’t have as much fun making a movie and getting it on the big screen anymore,” he added, referring to the changes in the movie industry with the arrival of the streaming.
“I’ll do another one and then I’ll see how I feel,” he said.
Alec Baldwin announced the interview on Sunday, saying he would be talking to Woody Allen about the director’s latest book, Zero Gravity.
Anticipating possible criticism, the actor had made a point of stressing that he was “absolutely not interested in the judgments or moralizing messages” which would be addressed to him.
The accusations against Woody Allen were not mentioned during this interview.
