Woody Allen's latest movie may never be released – despite Amazon already buying it for $25million.

A Rainy Day in New York had been set for a 2018 release, but now Amazon has shelved it indefinitely, Page Six reports.

The film – starring Selena Gomez, Timothée Chalamet, Jude Law and Elle Fanning – wrapped up in the fall of last year.

That was just before the rise of #MeToo movement put the spotlight back on allegations of sexual abuse that Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has made against him.

Now, Amazon has told Page Six that 'no release date has ever been set for the film.'

Allen still has three movies left in his deal with Amazon, but the agreement is now 'in limbo.'
