Brian De Palma is returning to the horror genre with a new script inspired by Harvey Weinstein.
The director, no stranger to the genre having made “Carrie,” revealed to French publication Le Parisien (via The Playlist) that he will be taking on Weinstein’s sexual harassment and abuse in a new film.
