“He said he was thinking of not making movies because making movies that go straight or very quickly to streaming platforms isn’t much fun for him as he’s a big fan of the cinema experience.”

It concluded: “Currently, he has no plans to retire and he is very excited to be in Paris for the shooting of his new film, which will be the 50th.”

The writer and director claimed the plot would be “thrilling, dramatic and also very sinister” and has been described as something akin to the thriller Match Point, which won the Goya award for Best European Film in 2006.

In a June live-streamed conversation on Instagram with actor Alec Baldwin – who has appeared in several of his films – the controversial writer and director alluded to his career pivot, saying “the tension is gone” due to a downturn in the theater- experience.

“A lot of the tension is gone,” the director admitted. “Now you do a movie, and you get a few weeks in a movie house, and then it goes to streaming or pay-per-view. It’s not the same. It’s not so much fun for me.’
