Why did “Angelina Jolie” reject Scorsese?
Angelina Jolie recently revealed in an interview about the rejection of the game in the movie “Aviator” by Martin Scorsese.
Theater News Base: Angelina Jolie described the experience of working with Hollywood producer Hervey Weinstein in the 1998 film “Playing with the Heart” as a bad experience, saying that the reason for not accepting the role in “The Aviator” by Martin Scorsese was also present. Weinstein co-produced the film.
He also revealed that it was hard for him that his ex-wife Brad Pitt had also collaborated on several films with Harvey Weinstein (a notorious Hollywood producer). The separation of “Angelina Jolie” and “Brad Pitt” ended in 2019, but the legal battle between the two Hollywood stars for custody of the children continues.
The story of Harvey Weinstein’s moral scandal, first revealed by The New Yorker Weekly, sparked the #Metoo movement in Hollywood, which aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of sexual abuse of women in Hollywood cinema.
Weinstein was originally one of the founders of Miramax, a company that made successful and independent films such as “Popular Story,” and then co-founded the Weinstein Film Company with his brother, Bob, in 2005.
He won an Academy Award in 1998 for his production of “Shakespeare in Love” and has also won seven Tony Awards for his production of a number of plays.
