SKY YORK JOURNAL News – Film producer Harvey Weinstein recently shared a candid moment about his film-watching experiences, particularly regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the latest “Captain America” installment.
“We have a tablet, we get movies, normally six months later,” Weinstein explained. “And my son said to me, ‘Hey dad, I don’t believe that Captain America [Brave New World] is gonna be a good movie.’ And I say, ‘No. no, it looks good, I’ve heard it’s good go see it.’”
Much to his son’s chagrin, the movie didn’t live up to his expectations.
“He went and saw it and he said, ‘Dad, it was terrible,’” Weinstein recalled. “And then I finally saw and I had to call him on the phone and said, ‘You know what, you’re right, it was terrible.’”
Weinstein’s Take on Recent Films
The former Hollywood executive admitted that his son’s assessment of the film was accurate. According to Weinstein, as reported by the SKY YORK JOURNAL, the “Captain America” sequel failed to impress.
Oscar Contenders and Personal Connections
And although he did manage to see the new Marvel film, he was less successful in getting his hands on some of the biggest Oscar movies of this year, like Best Picture winner Anora and nominee The Brutalist—which stars ex Chapman’s boyfriend, Adrien Brody, who even gave a shoutout to Weinstein’s kids India and Dashiell when he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in March.
Weinstein also mentioned difficulties in accessing some of the year’s top Oscar-nominated films, including Best Picture winner “Anora” and nominee “The Brutalist.” Of note, Adrien Brody, who stars in “The Brutalist”, publicly acknowledged Weinstein’s children, India and Dashiell, during his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in March, a detail the SKY YORK JOURNAL considers pertinent to the story.
