Director Woody Allen has said that there’s “not much pleasure in directing” and it can often get “tedious”.

Woody, 73, is best-known for his movies such as Annie Hall and Crimes and Misdemeanours.

He is currently in London making his new film, which is as-yet-untitled, and he was unhappy with the lack of rain.

He said: “I hate sunshine. It should be raining. But those are the breaks. We’ll have to shoot it differently or maybe use a garden hose on the windows.”

The new movie is a star-studded affair and features Josh Brolin, Antonio Banderas, Freida Patel, Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins.

Talking about why the film doesn’t have a title, he said to British newspaper The Daily Telegraph: “I never title a movie until it’s finished because if I look at the film and it’s no good I don’t like to give it an aggressive title.

“I give it what I call one of my hiding titles – the kind of title that is low-key and promises nothing, so people are less disappointed by it. But if I feel the film is good, I give it an aggressive, confident title and then hope for the best.”

Woody has worked on many films over his career and has receiving 14 Oscar nominations and won two however he admitted directing isn’t pleasurable.

He said: “There’s not much pleasure in directing. I get up very early and come to the set and stand around all day while the cinematographer spends three hours lighting the set, then I get 30 seconds to do the set and then we move on and he lights for another three hours and I get another 30 seconds. It’s tedious.”
