I don't think Huppert would turn her back on Allen. I mean, she's been consistently anti-Hollywood in the sense that she says what she thinks is right despite what other celebrities would say.

Yes, Huppert mentioned Woody Allen in 2016....but also July 2017 and more recently..... from Oct 2017and about three months ago (can't find link) she said, asked if she still wishes to work with WA given the allegations: "Why not? For me, he is a wonderful director. I have nothing more to say."

Other than Diane Keaton and Alec Baldwin, no actor in their right mind is going to want to work with Allen now. Maybe in Hollywood, but elsewhere he'd still get plenty of people to work with him. Just look at the cast that Polanski's been able to put together for his next project. If true, the news that Allen is filming his next in Barcelona makes total sense. And in addition to Keaton and Baldwin, there's also Rampling, Blanchett, Bardem, Johansson and many others who've worked with him and have defended him against the bashing. His films don't need gigantic casts, he can write chamber pieces and maintain a steady rhythm if he's interested.

Not only is this logical - this is inevitable and just and wayyyyyyyyyyy overdue.
Let me ask you this: how much money has NBC had to give away to essentially not supporting it's employees - 20 million to Billy Bush, more to Matt Lauer, even more to Megyn Kelly. Now, yes, you could argue they all had to go - that's a different argument - but my point is that NBC saw those relationships as functional slavery - mere assets they could eliminate. Maybe they were right, those people are not artists.
Allen is an artist, the agreement you entered into with him is at least subject to unique conditions. Instead, Amazon treated Allen like NBC treated its staff - you had to know this was coming (?) and this is why I say Netflix is feasting on the carcass of the dying film industry. Netflix could pick up this film, Netflix would have released it if they owned it, Netflix could enter into a separate agreement with Allen etc.
It's only Netflix that is on the artists side of these arguments, Amazon was never Netflix's equivalent and can't say they stand on the side of the Art form. Netflix is called the death of movies but rather, it's the opposite - as for Amazon they are on the side of moral relativists, historical revisionists and bottom line numbers crunchers.
Not a good look .......

Well we can debate that hypothetical but Netflix so far is the only company supporting artists daily - The Other Side Of The Wind etc. - putting not just their money up but granting artistic license and has no need to worry about the bad press (or less of a need to dump it, they could shoulder the bad press and the money) while Amazon here at least sounds awfully similar to Paramount and Warner Brothers and other paragons of virtue.......

I don't know how Netflix would have handled this situation, but one thing is for sure, as far as I'm concerned, they're the best thing that happened to the movie industry and film in general in decades. It wasn't them who chased the mid-budget films, the challenging genre pieces out of the movie theaters, it were the studios and theater chains that abandoned them, feeding, cultivating and conditioning their audience on the blockbuster mentality and the blockbuster mentality only. Netflix isn't perfect, it creates new challenges for filmmakers. You only get paid upfront and most of the time they don't tell you how successful your movie has been. It isn't even about the money, but it's harder to get in a position as a filmmaker out of which you can build your career on your hits, to get more sway, to be able to take more chances, allow yourself more risks, be more ambitious. But still, if you look at who they've supported in recent years and how they did it, they're clearly on the side of the artist. Of course, first and foremost, they're interested in making dough, so they crave for content, and that leads them to give the filmmakers the necessary creative freedom, so they're challenged to work for them. They could also curate their supply better, not just throwing them unceremoniously into their eternal vault. But as Soderbergh and Paul Schrader and others have pointed out, it's not making a picture that's the big problem these days (new, cheaper technology, but less production value, which is a sad thing I think), but to get people to see your stuff. That's the big question. Streaming platforms are going to grow in the next few years, and everybody is interested to be a part of it. Even the studios will start to make more and more of their back catalogue available, which is a great thing for every film lover, and even those who might not be so much into movies in general have access to things that they probably never thought of being of interest to them. That's the thing I don't understand about Tarantino and his bullshiting. Back in the day, he himself sat in his movie rental store and to this day still hoards thousands of VHS tapes.
About the Woody situation, it's tragic. As long as humans exist they've tried to create art that in one way or the other sheds light on the human condition. The most celebrated of these, those that have survived to this day, those that are championed as the pinnacle of culture, have one thing in common: There's never only right or wrong, the world and the stories and tragedies that populate it have never only been black or white. We all know that. But we all act as we know jack shit about this. We've learned nothing. It's not just about Allen or Polanski, we as a society at large have created a climate that's poisoned and that forbids an open discussion. And yes, I know that, actually, nothing is forbidden, there's free speech, everybody can say whatever he wants. It's the mood and the circumstances of our time that are problematic. Some of those storys, the allegations against Dustin Hoffman or Morgan Freeman for example, have been ridiculous. Those guys, sitting there after a lifetime's work, are now at the mercy of the new guards of civility because of some half-baked claims about silly behavior and I don't know what. And you know what, they're old guys, so they had a lot of time and a lot of opportunity for some sort of foolishness, and they certainly used some of those occasions to act like a fool. But dammit, they're human beings! What do you expect from people who get treated like gods for decades, don't you think there comes a point when some of this adulation gets in your head and you start to feel like the king of the world and believe you're allowed more than others? In their cases no one was seriously hurt, but Freeman still had to wait and see as long as the SAG was thinking about revoking his lifetime achievement award. Or throwing Roman Polanski out of the Academy. Why now? Because suddenly they're not just a bunch of filmmakers anymore, but a group that could compete with the Catholic Legion of Decency of the 30's. So Academy, then you have a lot of work to do! What about all those Anti-Semites and racists back in the golden age of Hollywood, forgetting that they're actually working in an industry founded and run by jewish immigrants, who, for a long time were being considered to be second class citizens who were just good enough to work in that "dirty movie business". And those old jewish movie moguls weren't saints either, most of them ruthless, brutal tyrants, who drugged their contract players until they didn't need them anymore and threw them away. Oh, moral relativism, use em when you need em, he? But they have probably no time for such thinking, they're occupied with celebrating and patting themselves on the back, after they've solved the problems of the black community with the success of Black Panther, of course only realized out of charitable considerations. Some socially disenfranchised black neighborhoods still have homicide rates like they're part of a war zone, but now they also have Black Planther, so all is good. Even Oprah is moved to tears. (I know that representation can be an important factor, so I'm not here to disparage Panther, it's just so much mendacity in the game. What about a black studio head? Or more mid-level or top-level executives? You know, those who hold the key to the kingdom.)
So all is shiny and beautiful in good ol' Tinseltown, as long as you don't make a wrong step or get accused of anything. There are moral hounddogs waiting at every corner trying to shut you down. I'm sure Jessica Chastain is sitting behind her computer, dying to point at those evil wrongdoers and clamoring to be brave again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to defend what some of those people have done, I can't stand Trump, from an ethical standpoint I don't like what Woody Allen has done to Mia Farrow, marrying her adopted daughter. Sexual harassment is not a trifle. But good god, human beings tend to be assholes, then they're nice again, then they're assholes, nice again, assholes,... I mean I wake up in the mornings and from time to time there's an asshole looking at me through the mirror. There's a lot of things that are being discussed at the moment that are important to talk about. But there's no talking about, there's finger pointing, forgetting basic principles like innocent until proven guilty. Or separating art from the artist. Or that humans are sexual beings, driven by a basic force, that sometimes leads them to do stupid things. I'm not talking about rape. I'm talking about being inappropriate, maybe out of insecurity, stupidity or even arrogance and spitefulness. It's called the human folly! We love our heroes, in literature or movies or whatever, to be morally complicated characters, but please, in real life, no mistakes are allowed, certainly not in today's climate, even if you admit to them, just look at what's happening to Liam Neeson. Everybody loves Tony Soprano, they sit behind their tv screens, hoping everything turns out well for him, suffering with him, despite him being a merciless gangster, who screws anyone but his wife as soon as he has a chance to, is a true racist, a homophobic, hell, he would even kill you if he deemed it necessary. But we care for him? Why? Because he's human. And I have to say artists in general don't make things easier at the moment. Novelists and comedians should point this out, there are different sides to all of us, and not all of them are good. But they have their easy targets, week in, week out, the Trumps of this world, or those evil Russians, who, as we've found out over the last couple of years, are apparently behind everything that's not working in western societies, because, well, they're Russians and someone has to be the bad guy, so they thought to themselves "alright, we'll do it". The problem is not that someone doesn't like Trump, or Clinton, or Obama, or what Putin is doing in the Ukraine and why he's doing it, or thinks Polanski should be in prison or a free man working in the US, or that Allen is guilty or innocent. The problem is that there's only one truth allowed, on either side. We're not acting like grown ups, accepting different opinions. We're screaming until the other guy can't be heard anymore. And as soon as someone is down, has lost his or her power, you get A LOT of very very brave people. I've never liked Weinstein and I've recently read the story of how Robert Rodriguez cast McGowan in Planet Terror as a fuck you to Harvey, but apparently Harvey-Bathrobe-Scissorhands is also responsible for Rodriguez' divorce from his wife, and not Rodriguez himself, who it seems was forced to cheat on his spouse and fuck his leading lady. And now Frieda Pinto is coming out of the woodwork, telling everybody who listens she would never work with Woody Allen again. Oh, how brave of you Frieda, you're really fighting the powers that be! I tell you what's a brave thing to do, and I'm aware that I'm entering a political minefield. Mark Rylance (and others like Mike Leigh or Ken Loach) is supporting the BDS movement that wants "to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law", as they describe it themselves. It' a different discussion if this is the right thing to do or not, and that's not the point here, the point is Rylance is surely aware that something like this could kill his career, especially in the US, but he's still doing it. That's being brave. Or standing up against the red scare witch hunt mentality of the 50's, risking your career and possibly your sanity. Kicking Woody when he's down, not so much. No one is being forced to watch a Woody Allen film, or act in it, or produce it, finance it, or look at Woody himself, think about him, like him or hate him, defend or condemn him. We're not not watching a new Allen movie or waiting to find out what story he's telling next because suddenly everyone has woken up and has seen the light and has found the truth, the reason we're not doing this is that if someone is sticking his or her head out and does or says something that goes against the spirit of the day, he or she is risking everything, because in this day and age, dissent is not allowed. A few years or decades from now we may be able to look back and get a clearer image of what was going on and a lot of it won't be looking good.

But if you would go to bat for him before, go to bat for him now, because if you don't what are you going to bat for anyway: Screwing artists out of your contract obligations? Breaching agreements?

From my point of view the problem I have is that they just cowardly swim on the wave of outrage in our time. The allegations against Woody Allen are not new, they are decades old. It's worthy to say that he was never convicted. But obviously a distributor or a studio has the chance to say: We don't want to support Allen. It doesn't fit with our moralic values (well I wished companies HAD moralic values anyway). But they didn't do this back then, but many many years later. Contrary they worked with him together and were already in plans for the next movie. And then all of a sudden they say: Look, the majority is against Allen. We shouldn't finance his movie. This is such a bad double standard, Amazon just floats with the tide. But well what could you expect from such a firm. You just have to look onto how Amazon treats his employees, which is still one of the key standards for companies. I really wished more people would boycott Amazon, but people are just to comfortable.

Oh honey, I don't see the connection? Wasn't Allen cleared of the child molestation charges at the time (thirty years ago) when they suspected that Dylan was being coached by Mia?
It's also interesting that Soon-Yi and Allen have been married now for over twenty years and that they have two adopted daughters who are teenagers now and they have never spoken out about feeling vulnerable. Nevertheless, all these unsubstantiated allegations must be hurtful for his present family. None of us will ever be in the position to know what really happened. I'm sure there are plenty of actresses and actors who would still work with him...
I suspect the real reason for amazon considering the shelving of Allen's Rainy Day is that Wonder Wheel drastically under performed at the box office.

That's like saying you can't defend anyone who appears to be FALSELY accused of something cuz of the horrors of Weinstein. Nonsensical, moron logic.

How can some of you fossils go to bat for Woody Allen in a post-Harvey Weinstein era? Honestly, I don't even know what it means to be called "a fossil in the post-Weinstein era". I'm all for calling a spade a spade, but at the same time I'm not here to shut my brain off. If being a fossil means arguing about needed change in certain attitudes, but not forgetting to make distinctions between different circumstances, recognizing that there are nuances of truth, or what anybody happens to believe to be the truth, including myself, well, then please, call me a "fossil".

Well, that's more than nice of you to say, so thank you rhodoraonline (and to all the others too). My english isn't too bad (it used to be better), but it's still a struggle to get across what I'm trying to communicate and formulate it in a foreign language. Honestly, after I hurriedly wrote that whole howling down and uploaded it to this board, I thought to myself, god, you sound like a rambling idiot. So it's even more gratifying that, to one degree or another, some of you have gotten an idea of what I was trying to say, no matter if you agree or not. So, again, thank you very much!

Some recent developments on the case Woody vs. Amazon.
I'm not an expert on American jurisprudence, but Amazon is grasping at straws here. Either I'm living in an alternative universe or Allen wasn't found guilty of anything anytime, so why shouldn't he be allowed to talk about as big a cultural movement as #metoo and have an opinion about it? I thought our societies are founded on basic legal principles? This is a playing field for shysters, nothing more. In the end, they will settle out of court and pay him, maybe not what he's asking for, but it will be a lot.
As for the second article, the evermore salacious Hollywood Reporter should get their facts straight. I don't know any actor who goes by the name of Michael Cain, but if they're talking about Michael Caine, while initially making such statements in that regard, more recently he had something different to say about the matter:
And please, someone should explain to Peter Bart, who seems like he has some old scores to settle, that there's a distinction between creating art that's, lets say, a mirror or a reflection of the world the way the artist sees it, and leading a life, you know Peter, in the real world, and all the mischief, marvel and imponderability that goes with it.

Leo_The_Last One other thing Hollywood Reporter needs to get straight: Blanchett has never said she wouldn't work with him again. On contrary, she's stated it's not her business, he wasn't found guilty, but she wouldn't oppose to another investigation if the law found it to be necessary. Or did I miss something?

Yes, I think you're correct about that, that's also how I remember it.

I hope it comes to Russia, Allen is much beloved here! Can't wait to see it (hopefully it'll at least be available online someday). Fuck those cowardly actors who threw Allen under the bus to save face in front of the SJW crowd.
