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.”
... 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.”

And like every other attempt by the far-left looney-lib media to produce a film with a strong leftist message, it’ll bomb at the box office. Every. Single. One. Failed.
“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.”
Oh NOES!!!

Only without the charm, wit, or intelligence.

LOL, I’m forecasting a record year for Smith and Wesson.
What a pretentious windbag.
soooo if these fools do not like something they will make sure you can’t either do or have it.
Whereas if they like something like homosexuality or abortion they will shove it up your ass regardless.
Libs like obammy are a-holes.
Marge: “We have to do something! Those evil Gun People are hurting The Children. We have to find a way to Stop Them!”
Wally: “I know, let’s put on a Talent Show”
Sounds like a real blockbuster. I can’t wait.
Lucky for me I have been able to afford all my ammo without issue, have not gone to a movie since 1997.
Samuel Goldwyn:
“Pictures were made to entertain; if you want to send a message, call Western Union.”
Meryl Streep-I am shaking in my boots!
Of course the fat FJB doesn’t own a gun...his 24/7 security detail has plenty of them.
The irony here is too delicious to pass up...
If the uniparty & statists have there way Harvey, the FIRST people lined up against the wall and shot after all the guns are banned and confiscated will be YOU and all the other media propagandists...
Useful IDIOT doesn’t come even remotely close to describing his ilk...
Looking forward to it.
Not to watching it, mind you.
I’m looking forward to it driving 1,000’s of new converts directly in to the welcoming arms of the NRA.
Stuff like this always does.
Thanks, Hollywood!
Considering most people do not manage their own stocks....and even if they did...why would they sell their stocks on about the only thing growing in sales way above the average trends...
This idiot is going to be very disappointed that “gun stocks” won’t crash and burn....
Imagine the libtards gashing of teeth if conservatives made a movie about something more dangerous then guns...public sector unions...
Just heard its received an Oscar nomination
First thought: Really? Increase from current astronomical quantities???
Second thought: Yes ... Harvey is jealous of Barry Benghazi ... he dreams of being named "Firearm Salesman of the Year".
His target market segment, "frequent moviegoers who trade stocks" is probably an awfully small group.

I trade stocks. I haven't been to a movie in years. Who has time?
He might not own a gun, but I’m willing to bet he lives in a gated community protected by armed guards.
What is his next project, a film to make "teens" and "youths" pull their frickin' pants up?
No doubt after she appears in this film playing some victim of an "assault" weapon I'll renounce all the rights granted to me under the Bill of Rights.
Ha ha! You nailed it. That slave movie is predictably up for every damn award they give out, and hardly anybody saw it.
