Now that the cat has been out in the bag for a good while it seems like everyone has there Harvey Weinstein story to share. Grateful Julia Stiles‘Personal anecdote regarding Sentenced sex offender Is not as bad as others, but still speaks to the former producer’s bad taste in all situations.
During a new interview on Brett GoldsteinS “Movies to be buried with” podcastStiles discussed her early 2000s heyday when she chose her teenager ROM-MED Being one put one on the market, but fell into a project that “was implemented very poorly.” The film was called “Down to you” and participated another hot actor at the moment, Freddie Prinze Jr.
“It was a time when teenage Rome-coms were really popular,” Styles said. “The director wrote the script. He was a first time director and he was a very, very intelligent, capable guy. The script was very good. And then Harvey Weinstein got his hands on it and decided to take advantage of this trend. And it just got stupid. “

“They pour money into it in stupid ways,” she said. “So when we went and did re -schools, and I was told that he decided that because of the success of” Save the Last Dance “or the success of” 10 things I hate about you “with me to dance on the pool table, he needed to make me dance in the movie.”
The question in Stile’s mind was not that he wanted her to dance, but that it was not necessary for the story and it did not give anything new to the characters’ dynamics.
“I’ll make a whole movie dance. I love to dance, but it was stupid. It was like, “Okay, let’s get her on a pool table.” It wasn’t even imaginative, “Stiles told Goldstein. “And I felt so slimy to do it all the time. I don’t know if it actually did it in the movie, but it was annoying. “
