With this film being "shelved" by controversy and not released as originally intended, 2018 marks the first time since 1981 that Woody Allen did not have a feature film released in theaters. In fact, since his directorial debut in Um Assaltante Bem Trapalhão (1969), Allen has written and directed a feature film in every single subsequent year except for 1970, 1974, 1976, 1981, and now 2018. So, in the past 50 years, there have only been 5 years in total in which the world has not seen a Woody Allen film released in theaters.
