Harvey Weinstein can be your best friend or worst enemy (or both at the same time) and IFC have decided to play with fire, acquiring the worldwide rights (excluding Canada) for “Unauthorized: The Harvey Weinstein Project,” a documentary on the famed and controversial filmmaking mogul.
The project was revealed earlier this year amidst all the hubbub of a potential Quentin Tarantino-helmed documentary. This spring, the film by director Barry Avrich was described as “a powerful, uncensored account of a brilliant, feared, charming and yet loathsome character” that would capture the “passion, character and old Hollywood style” that the Weinstein brothers have brought to their film ventures. Frankly, it sounds juicy but we’re curious how many Hollywood types actually went on the record about their dealings with Harvey.
No word yet on when we’ll see the film nor any comment from the subject of the film.
a documentary about Don Simpson was more interesting !
