D'Onofrio to get 'Down and Dirty' as Harvey Weinstein (SCR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Vincent D'Onofrio has played everything from a detective to a fisherman, a priest, a marine and an alien cockroach. Now he's about to play Harvey Weinstein. According to Screen, the casting development emerged as 7th Level Entertainment Group announced it had signed a deal to support Yamani Pictures' 2010-15 feature slate with tours and events.
The film in which D'Onofrio would play the mogul is "Down And Dirty," an adaptation of Peter Biskind's Hollywood tell-all "Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film."
Besides "Down And Dirty," other titles on Yamani's 2010-11 production slate include Bill Condon's Richard Pryor film "Is It Something I Said" starring Eddie Murphy, and "Only The Hood Dies Young" with Bruce Willis, DMX and Mickey Rourke.
