Woody Allen’s New Film Includes a Sexual Relationship Between an Adult and a 15-Year-Old Girl...

Woody Allen’s new movie, “Wonder Wheel,” doesn’t open until December, but he’s already at work on his next project starring Elle Fanning, Jude Law, Selena Gomez, Rebecca Hall, and Timothée Chalamet. The movie is reportedly called “A Rainy Day in New York,” and its story could end up resulting in another controversy for the director. Page Six reports the movie stars Law as a middle-aged married man who “makes a fool of himself over every ambitious starlet and model.” The 44-year-old character allegedly has a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old “concubine,” played by Fanning.

According to Page Six: “In the scene, the so-called concubine acknowledges her relationship with Law’s much-older character, but then protests that she is 21 years old. After a discussion about his infidelity, Fanning’s character then asks Law, ‘Were all these women for pleasure, or were you researching a project?'”

Early Woody Allen movies such as Sleeper and Bananas are funny.

I read the hpyocrite comments on this thread and if the roles were gender reversed, these same people would be asking if the actress was guilty or not and talking about how great it would be.

My life’s goal is to never see a Woody Allen film. So far, so good!

The only thing making this not be child porn is that Fanning, athough playing a 15 year old, is 19.

How many of his movies have the manic pixie dream girl? (The young eccentric woman who “fixes” the older man). He basically invented it in Annie Hall.

Sometimes, the gap in ages between the men and women is highly uncomfortable.

Oh, I think we’ve completely gone the other way when it comes to teenage girls and older men. I feel like this type of affair was almost seen as normal into the 80s.

Ted Nugent became the guardian of his girlfriend in order to travel with her. Bill Wyman started dating that one wife when she was 13.

We would be signing online petitions to put those guys in jail today.
