Good news for Woody Allen’s currently-in-limbo “Rainy Day in New York.” It has been confirmed that an October 3rd Italian release date has been stamped on the film [via Italy’s Lucky Red]. This has led to speculation about a potential Venice Film Festival premiere, which happens a month before the Italian ‘Rainy Day’ release date. This could potentially be a seismic-like, earth-shaking event for the movie world, as Allen has been, by all accounts, unfairly, blacklisted in Hollywood due to Mia and Ronan Farrow taking advantage of the #MeToo movement to exact the revenge they’ve always wanted to perpetrate on Allen. If Venice head Alberto Barbera has the guts to defend Woody Allen, there wouldn’t be a better defense than having “Rainy Day in New York” play at Venice. This isn’t a far-fetched theory either — Variety’s Nick Vivarelli has also mentioned this theory in his piece about the newly announced Italian release date.
