No word yet on how much Woody Allen's getting out of Amazon. I just hope it's enough to leave Dylan Farrow sobbing in a fetal position and Ronan Farrow wondering how his father managed to outwit them once again.
I've said all this before but, according to the internet, Woody Allen has a net worth of $80 million. He doesn't need any more money. If he wants to, he can bankroll his own movies. They're low budget by Hollywood standards but cost a fortune compared to European movies. He can still cut his budgets way down.
He's hiring all these stars, paying them the union minimum. They're willing to do it in part because some of them get Oscars out of it. But if he would start casting people who actually need the money, he would quickly amass a veritable army of grateful actors coming to his defense.
On the other hand, he may use experienced stars because he doesn't know how to direct actors. It's hard to imagine anyone going to his movies because they want to see Leonardo DiCaprio or whoever else he puts in those things, but, what do I know. Maybe his movies would fail without them.
It's always amusing to tell wealthy celebrities how to conduct their lives, but few of them are total morons. They have some idea what they're doing.
