The father of actress Mira Sorvino, Paul Sorvino ("Goodfellas"), wants to dish out his own brand of street justice on movie mogul Harvey Weinstein for the way he treated Sorvino's daughter.
On top of accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexually harassing her in the late-90's during the #MeToo storm, evidence soon surfaced that the famed movie producer allegedly blacklisted the Academy Award-winning actress in retaliation for her refusing his advances.
The revelation came at the hands of "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson, who said that during the early days of that film's production, Weinstein persuaded him not to hire Sorvino or Ashley Judd.
I recall Miramax telling us they were a nightmare to work with and we should avoid them at all costs, said Jackson.
At the time, we had no reason to question what these guys were telling us but in hindsight, I realize that this was very likely the Miramax smear campaign in full swing, added the director. I now suspect we were fed false information about both of these talented women and as a direct result their names were removed from our casting list.
Sorvino responded to the devastating news on Twitter: "There it is, confirmation that Harvey Weinstein derailed my career, something I suspected but was unsure. Thank you Peter Jackson for being honest. Im just heartsick."
At the time, Sorvino had already won an Academy Award for her role in Woody Allen's "Mighty Aphrodite."
Now, Mira's father wants revenge for the way Weinstein treated his daughter the "Goodfellas" way.
If I meet him on the street he ought to hope he goes to jail, Sorvino told TMZ Wednesday. Because if we come across, I think hell be lying on the floor, somehow. Magically.
Hes gonna go to jail, that son of a b*tch, the actor continued. Good for him if he goes, cause if not he has to meet me. And Ill kill the mother****er.
Paul Sorvino admits to not knowing the extent of Weinstein's alleged crimes.
He would not be walking, Sorvino said. Hed be in a wheelchair.
Yeah,maybe the movie tough guy will give him a paper cut?
Yeah but all the Goodfellas fans will love to think so. And maybe he would. Anyway, I thought some old coot saying I'm-a-gonna-kill-that-motherf-cker was a perfect headline for the LF sidebar.
Lee Marvin he ain't.
I recently found a LM movie I was unaware of. It was The Klansman and starred Lee Marvin, Richard Burton and O.J. Simpson.
This movie was so racist it left Mandingo in the dust. LOL
The back story of the movie is unreal: 'The film's premiere was held in Oroville. Executive producer Bill Schiffrin told the audience if they liked the film "they ought to see a psychiatrist".'
