Major Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has pre-emptively responded to soon-to-be-published ‘bombshell’ stories about him in the New York Times and the New Yorker that will detail sexual allegations and alleged improper workplace behaviour.
He later issued a statement saying: “The story sounds so good I want to buy the movie rights.”
Weinstein is the co-founder and co-chairman of The Weinstein Company, which has produced films like Django Unchained, The King’s Speech, Silver Linings Playbook, Carol, The Artist and The Imitation Game.
“I’ve not been aware of this; I don’t know what you’re talking about, honestly,” Weinstein initially responded when asked about the upcoming stories by the trade mag.
