“One wonders if four was too many,” said Allen in a Tonight Show Interview. “Would five be too many? Rumor has it that the writer who’s working on it wrote one of the better ones and said, ‘If I didn’t get this right, I wouldn’t do it.’ So it could be a very, very interesting way to bring the two back together.”
