Big-time movie producer Harvey Weinstein revealed Wednesday that he is making an anti-gun movie with actress Meryl Streep that is going to make the National Rifle Association “wish they weren’t alive.”
During an interview with Howard Stern on his radio show, Weinstein said the new full feature drama will take the NRA “head on.” He also said he’s never owned a gun and never will.
“I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it. I think the NRA is a disaster area,” Weinstein said.
After first telling Stern that he shouldn’t reveal too much about his secretive film, the producer spilled the beans.
“I’m going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we’re going to take this issue head on. And they’re going to wish they weren’t alive after I’m done with them,” he added, referring to the NRA.
Weinstein said the film is not a documentary and will be a “big movie like a ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’” The Hollywood heavyweight was clear that he wants to scare people enough so that they don’t want to be involved with guns.
When Stern challenged his anti-gun logic, Weinstein argued that he would “find a gun” if something like the Holocaust were to happen and his “people” were being marched into Auschwitz.
However, as the Washington Times’ Emily Miller points out: “Mr. Weinstein has been watching too many movies if he thinks the good guys find fully-loaded firearms in convenient locations to use only when necessary.”
Miller also notes that the chairman of the Weinstein Company is one of President Barack Obama’s biggest fundraisers.
“Zabriskie Point” is another capitalist-pigs-suck flick from that period.
With Upcoming ‘Big Movie’
With Upcoming ‘Big Flop’
Fixed.
I commented on an earlier thread about this subject, but I think the producer whine steen will wish he were dead after the low turnout for this movie being a crappy way to lose a bunch of dollars.
yep. hope he uses his own money...
sorry but for some reason the American Progressive Jewish community has a psychological flaw concerning learning from history.
unfortunately these above-normal intelligence group will walk right into those cattle cars again. Sad Really.
I worked in B2B services to the business side of the entertainment industry for years, and as such, knew about his depth as a businessman in a tough industry. He has provided employment for many (not me, directly or indirectly). By no means are his movies all trash. I think this theme he's going to try out now is possibly a result of burnout. I think Hollywood in general is a bunch of burned out people with spiritual problems. But I have to respect his strength as a producer, one of the top ones in Hollywood in film and TV over the past half-century. You might as well start speculating that Meryl Streep is gay because she is associated with a film whose theme you don't like. What is the point of name-calling untruthfully?
Another boxoffice flop and Oscar winner.
