The premiere of Woody Allen ’s “Wonder Wheel” will go forward at the New York Film Festival at 6 PM Saturday at Lincoln Center, but the red carpet has been canceled in the wake of revelations that Amazon’s TV chief, Roy Price, was put on an indefinite leave of absence following sexual harassment allegations. The after-party for the film will go on as scheduled, Deadline was told.

The film stars Kate Winslet, Jim Belushi, Juno Temple and
