The BBC is making a feature-length Harvey Weinstein documentary
The day before the explosive New York Times report on the harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein came out, the formerly influential movie producer dared to joke that the rumor about him being an abusive monster was such a good story that he wanted to “buy the movie rights.” Of course, tons of women then came forward accusing him of being an abusive monster, and his Hollywood career collapsed so hard that even his legacy is quickly being erased—meaning that he won’t be buying the movie rights to anything any time soon. Now, the BBC has announced that it’s developing a feature-length documentary about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct scandal, and while it’s probably not a purposeful “fuck you” to his movie rights joke from October, it’s a solid “fuck you” nonetheless.
