HARVEY WEINSTEIN - FAITH-BASED HORROR FILM FOR CHRISTMAS?

FAITH-BASED HORROR FILM FOR CHRISTMAS?

Only days after they had announced they were forming a new company to distribute faith-based movies, Bob and Harvey Weinstein said that they intend to open a slasher movie called Black Christmas on Christmas day. On her website, L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke commented: "And the entertainment industry wonders why it continues to have a huge PR problem as promoters of garbage? Showbiz marketing calls this counter-programming. Still, I don't understand: just how many disturbed human beings does The Weinstein Company and MGM think actually want to go see a gory movie on December 25th?"
