MILLER: Movie mogul says new Meryl Streep film will make NRA ‘wish they weren’t alive’
Harvey Weinstein reveals gun-control push to Howard Stern
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 5 million members of the NRA are law-abiding Americans who are active in preserving the right to protect themselves and their families.
