Several actors who had worked with the 82-year-old director donated their salaries or saidthey would never work with him again.
Law did not and gave an explanation to his decision, telling theTimes, “I didn’t really want to get involved, to be honest.”
He added, “I just don’t feel like it was my place to comment, and it’s too delicate a situation. I feel like enough has been said about it. It’s a private affair. [As for working with Allen again,] I don’t know. I’d have to consider carefully.”
A Rainy Day in New Yorkalso stars Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Diego Luna and Liev Schreiber.
In January, Chalametpledged to donate his entire salaryfrom the film to three organizations: TIME’S UP, The LGBT Center in New York, and RAINN. “This year has changed the way I see and feel about so many things; it has been a thrilling and, at times, enlightening education,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.

In October, Javier Bardem, who starred in 2008’sVicky, Christina, Barcelona, defended Allen calling him “a genius” and saying he “would work with him tomorrow.”
Bardem then emphasized that Allen hasn’t been convicted of a crime. “Today, 11 years later, it is the same accusation,” he asserted. “Public accusations are very dangerous. If someday there is a trial and it’s proven to be true, I would change my opinion, but at this moment, nothing has changed.”
