The Reel Deal:
You probably figured the whole HARVEY WEINSTEIN scandal would eventually become a sex-oriented movie with Harvey being the perp.But Hollywood directorBRIAN DE PALMAis taking the whole thing one step further in a movie he's discussed creating.
De Palma, who's the director of "Scarface" and "Carrie," sayshe's in the process of writing a "horror film" script based on Harvey's alleged sexual abuses.
And --it's personal for De Palma, who says "I've heard stories over the years."
But, he says although the script will be about the harassment in the industry, "my character will not be called Harvey Weinstein."Grace notes from Vinny Marino:

There really aren't any comparisons as far as I'm concerned. Tonight was fun. Thanks friend." (Marino)
