Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Stern’s radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association.
Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday whether he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he did not and never would. “I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it,” the producer said. “I think the NRA is a disaster area.”
Mr. Weinstein then revealed his secret project about the gun rights group. “I shouldn’t say this, but I’ll tell it to you, Howard,” he said. “I’m going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we’re going to take this head-on. And they’re going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them.” The shock jock asked whether the film was going to be a documentary. Mr. Weinstein said no, that it would be a “big movie like a ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’”
The movie mogul said his vision was to scare people away from firearms. He foresees moviegoers to leave thinking, “Gun stocks — I don’t want to be involved in that stuff. It’s going to be like crash and burn.
The chairman of the Weinstein Co. (formerly Miramax) is one of President Obama’s biggest fundraisers. He brought in more than $500,000 from his Hollywood friends for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2012.

Yeah he doesn’t own a gun.....but his bodyguards do.
Uhhh....sure.
Um, yeah.....
There you go ladies and gentlemen, finally a liberal admits to wanting to bring genocide upon the people.
Question 2: Do your bodyguards, residential security people and studio security carry firearms? Because I’ve guarded big name Hollywood people, VIPs, CEOs, diamond merchants and etc. and I always had a pistol. He doesn’t need a gun if he’s surrounded by them, just like Dear Leader and the Beltway elites.
More political agenda from Hollywood.
Now imagined a conservative movie was made, I bet there would be lawsuits and calls to the FEC to have it banned as a political advertisement in an election year
Well, Hollyweird Trash. A little thing called the 2nd Amendment reads: “Shall NOT be infringed”
And I like my guns, I WILL KEEP MY GUNS. And my neighbors will too.
Hollyweird, Forget what you’re thinking.
You heard it here first, folks.
Typical liberal. Overblown ego and sense of self importance. Pfft
Ooooo not Meryl Streep ... that’s unfair!
If I were the NRA I’d just wave the white flag right now /s
Pretty funny.Does he really think a movie can have such an influence on people? Arrogant a**.
Of course I’ve been horrified by bows and arrows ever since I saw “The Hunger Games”. /s
.
Typical Weinstein bluster. They’ll lose a fortune at whatever they have in mind if they make such a movie. I hope they do.
won’t be holding my breath… we’ll see how America reacts to this pos
Just because this fat, ugly, over paid libtard has a very hot wife and his boy in the white house, he thinks his propaganda movie with La Meryl using an accent will destroy the NRA...ha!
As long as bad guy dopes pick on little old ladies and elementary school kids, the NRA will live.
Hey Harv, go back into your Hollywierd bubble and eff off.
LOL!
I know I hang on what Meryl and Harvey baby think, don’t you?
I think they may get a surprise what the NRA is sorry about.
I bet on backfire if this duo gets too noisy with pushing their pro-pacifist/be-a-victim schlick.
A fool and his money are soon parted. Like there’s enough Liberals out there to have this movie make money?
This hypocritical Fat Ba$tard has mucho security: http://pagesix.com/2012/09/10/scientologists-combat-the-master/
