Famed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is no stranger to controversy. But Weinstein says hes turned his sights on his biggest target yet: the National Rifle Association. I shouldnt say this. Im going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and were going to take this issue head-on and theyre going to wish they werent alive after Im done with them, Weinstein said during an interview with radio host Howard Stern Wednesday.
I think the NRA is a disaster area, Weinstein added, saying, I dont think we need guns in this country. Deadline Hollywood says the movie is currently titled The Senators Wife and will focus on the NRAs successful attempts to lobby federal lawmakers against voting for gun control legislation.
Yahoo News has reached out to the NRA, which says it has not yet issued a public statement responding to Weinstein's comments. Yahoo News also reached out to the Weinstein Co. for comment. Weinstein told Stern the film will not be a documentary, but rather a big movie like a 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,' which he believes will affect the national debate in ways lawmakers have so far been unable to do.
I think we can do something, he said. Weinstein has been involved in politics for years and helped raise more than $500,000 for President Barack Obama during his re-election campaign.
