Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman announces she is leaving him and that her priority is her young children.Paltrow says she was propositioned as a 22-year-old, while Jolie refers to a "bad experience" in her youth. Hollywood A-listers Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie say they were harassed by Weinstein.Weinstein's spokeswoman Sallie Hofmeister tells the publication: "Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein.".Mira Sorvino, who starred in several of Weinstein's films, told the New Yorker that Weinstein sexually harassed her and tried to pressure her into a physical relationship.Argento says the incident happened in 1997 in the south of France while Stoller, who now goes under the name Evans, says she was forced into a sexual act by the producer after going for a casting meeting in 2004. A third woman withholds her name from the article, the result of a 10-month investigation by the magazine. Actress Asia Argento and a former aspiring actress named Lucia Stoller say Weinstein forced himself on them sexually.Allegations from 13 more women are published in the New Yorker magazine, including three accusations of rape, which Weinstein strongly denies.Sure, you may have to wait a bit longer than expected for a few of these, but 2020 is still going to be a good year for biopics and real tales-so bring on the (sort of) true stories. And Bowie fans will anxiously await the arrival of Stardust, starring Johnny Flynn as the man himself. If you’re the biggest Aretha Franklin fan, you’re looking forward to Jennifer Hudson's depiction of the legend in Respect. Learning can be fun, kids.īut the stakes are high for real-life projects this year. You get to know about events only previously chronicled in a 15,000-word New Yorker article you never got around to reading, and you can do it in the comfort of the theater with a big bucket of popcorn on your lap-or, even better, your couch. Once you’ve come to peace with that, movies and TV based on real-life events are actually the best.
If you can get past the “based on a true story” caveat, then you’re all good. But it’s also incredibly frustrating for fact-checking journalists who know that these timelines are completely restructured. It’s nice to see the details behind the history of a family, like the royals who are often guarded and mysterious about their lives, played out on television for all of us to see. Fans of The Crown will understand this: Sometimes the best TV shows come right out of history books.
