Allen also says he is owed $9m (£7m) by Amazon after financing the production of A Rainy Day in New York himself, and that Amazon committed to releasing the film for a minimum of 90 days.
Allen’s most recent film, A Rainy Day in New York, appeared to have been indefinitely shelved by Amazon despite the company being contractually obliged to release it, according to the film-maker.
Allen then entered into a four-film contract with it, of which A Rainy Day in New York was the first, originally intended for release in 2018.
However, Allen was defended by actors Javier Bardem and Jude Law, with the latter referring to the non-appearance of A Rainy Day in New York as “a terrible shame”.
