Back in February, Woody Allen filed a lawsuit against Amazon Studios for canceling the release of his film A Rainy Day In New York, accusing the streaming service of breaking their four-picture contract over – his words here – “a 25-year-old, baseless allegation.” Amazon has filed an official response, countering that it was Allen’s controversial statements regarding the #MeToo movement – not the well-known allegations themselves or his penchant for writing super creepy shit – that made it “impracticable” to promote and release the film.
