In case the Harvey Weinstein scandal hasn't been scary enough, famed director Brian De Palma told French magazine Le Parisien Thursday that he plans to make a horror movie out of it. In his interview with Le Parisien, the Scarface and Carrie director vented his frustrations toward the mainstream industry and teased the upcoming project.“I’m writing a film about this scandal, a project I’m talking about with a French producer,” De Palma said. “My character won’t be named Harvey Weinstein but it will be a horror film, with a sexual aggressor, and it will take place in the film industry.”
