Studio executives are pissed off with Quentin Tarantino’s appearance at the anti-police brutality rally in New York City.
According to Page Six, Harvey Weinstein is reportedly upset at Quentin Tarantino for calling cops “murders”.
Now police unions are now calling for a boycott of the director’s The Hateful Eight and studio executives want the director to apologize.
From Page Six:
“The last thing Harvey needs is a boycott that will scare off Oscar voters and hurt the box office,” said one insider.
“Harvey is desperate to find a solution,” said my source. “He’s angry that Tarantino needlessly created a controversy that has nothing to do with the movie. It’s so pointless and unnecessary.” And bad for business.
