Harvey Weinstein set to be sentenced again after 6-year legal odyssey

Harvey Weinstein set to be sentenced again after 6-year legal odyssey

NEW YORK: The first time Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to prison, reporters, advocates and the curious public crammed the courtroom to witness the disgraced Hollywood honcho’s #MeToo reckoning. Hours later, the world began shutting down as the COVID-19 pandemic raged. Now, after an overturned conviction and two retrials, Weinstein is set to be sentenced again on Wednesday for one of the same crimes - more than six years after his first sentencing in March 2020. Weinstein, 74, faces up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting a one-time TV production assistant, Miriam Haley, at his Manhattan apartment in 2006. He has already served more than six years as his case has cycled again and again through the criminal justice system. Haley gave her account of the assault at two trials. "The unthinkable was happening,” Haley testified last year, dabbing her eyes. Haley, who has also gone by the name Mimi Haleyi, is planning to speak at Weinstein’s sentencing, her lawyer, Gloria Allred, said. Weinstein will also address the court, his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said. The Oscar-winning "Pulp Fiction” and "Shakespeare in Love” producer was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury convicted him of assaulting Haley and raping an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, in 2013. But New York’s highest court erased those guilty verdicts in 2024, ruling that Weinstein was prejudiced by testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. Tried for a second time last year, Weinstein was again convicted of first-degree criminal sex act for assaulting Haley. After another retrial ended in a hung jury in May, Manhattan prosecutors dropped the rape charge rather than pursue a fourth trial after Mann said she could not bear to testify again. That decision cleared the way for Weinstein’s sentencing. Manhattan prosecutors have said they will ask for 20 years in prison - which would keep him behind bars until at least his late 80s. Weinstein’s lawyers haven’t said what sentence they’ll seek. He denies raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Once he’s sentenced, he can appeal. "I will be proven innocent. That I promise you,” Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter in a jailhouse interview in March. Weinstein is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles. A California appeals court upheld the 2022 conviction but threw out his original 16-year sentence because the judge had considered his New York convictions that were later thrown out as an aggravating factor. After shuffling between state prison, where he tested positive for COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, the ailing Weinstein is now housed at a medical unit for jail inmates at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. His health issues in recent years have included chronic myeloid leukemia, diabetes and walking difficulties that necessitate a wheelchair to get in and out of court, his lawyers said. Two years ago, he underwent emergency surgery to remove fluid on his heart and lungs.

Post your questions for Miranda Richardson

Post your questions for Miranda Richardson

She has lit up screens large and small playing Ruth Ellis, Rita Skeeter, Barbara Castle and the hilarious Queenie in Blackadder. Alternatively, you could ask about birds of prey, orangutans or playing the cello Judging by the size of her awards cupboard, Miranda Richardson has had quite the career. She won a Bafta for the 1992 psychological drama Damage, opposite Jeremy Irons, and Golden Globes for the 1991 historical drama Enchanted April and the 1994 Nazi thriller Fatherland, and was Oscar-nominated for both Damage and the 1994 historical drama Tom & Viv. Her other notable performances include IRA member Jude in The Crying Game, Ruth Ellis in Dance With a Stranger and Lady Van Tassel in Sleepy Hollow. She’s pretty handy at comedy, too – and probably just as familiar for playing acid-tongued Daily Prophet journalist Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the murderous chicken-farm owner Mrs Tweedy in Chicken Run and, of course, the gloriously unhinged Queenie in Blackadder II: “I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant.” Continue reading...

Filipino folklore takes center stage in DreamWorks' 'Forgotten Island' film

Filipino folklore takes center stage in DreamWorks' 'Forgotten Island' film

LOS ANGELES: Oscar-winning R&B singer Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, professionally known as H.E.R., was transported back to the Filipino folktales her mother used to tell her while discussing DreamWorks' upcoming animated film "Forgotten Island," which arrives in theaters on Friday. The Black and Filipino American singer, who voices one ⁠of the movie's lead characters, told Reuters that her mother often focused on the fearsome Manananggal, a creature from Filipino folklore known for splitting its body in two. "When I was a kid, that was the one that my mom ‌would always tell," she said. "She'd be like, 'The Manananggal is gonna get you!' We went to the Philippines, and I saw the bats, and she'd be like, 'Look, it's the Manananggal!' The ‌Manananggal is one of many mythological creatures featured in "Forgotten Island," which ‌is co-directed by Januel Mercado and Joel Crawford and the first major ‌Hollywood feature-length animated film inspired by Filipino ‌culture and mythology. The film follows two best friends - Jo, voiced by H.E.R., and Raissa, voiced by Liza Soberano - who become stranded in ‌the mystical world of Nakali, where their only escape could cost them ⁠a lifetime of memories. The cast also features Lea Salonga, who voices Manang, the feared Manananggal. For Mercado and Crawford, inspiration came from the Filipina women in their lives. Crawford's wife is Filipina, ⁠while Mercado looked to ⁠his sister Joann, for whom the character Jo is named, to help shape the project. "Strong women have affected me and made me the person I am," Mercado said. Mercado, ⁠H.E.R. and Soberano said the film reflects growing recognition for Filipino stories in Hollywood. In September, Salonga became the first Filipina to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "There has always been Filipinos in Hollywood, kind of paving the way for all of us," Soberano said. "But it's only now that ‌there's really been a spotlight shown on Filipinos and Filipino culture. So, it's really exciting to see other people embracing the culture and also the amazing talent that comes with being Filipino," she added. Daniel Loria, senior vice president of content strategy for the Boxoffice Company, which provides data services for the industry, said it was forecasting around $20 million for the movie's opening weekend.

‘Our job was not to attack’: how do you make a documentary about America’s culture wars?

‘Our job was not to attack’: how do you make a documentary about America’s culture wars?

Oscar-winning film-maker Barry Levinson’s docuseries Bucks County, USA examines the political divide in one town in a revealing and infuriating manner Like many teenage best friends, Evi and Vanessa have a penchant for finishing each other’s sentences. Whether enmeshed on a couch or telling a story, one, a red-headed musical theater nerd with a personality nearly as boisterous as her signature puffy skirts, collides with the other, darker in hair and disposition, their speech bubbling with indecipherable affirmations and giggles. In a heady chorus of “duuude” and “no, you!”, it can be difficult to tell where one girl ends and the other begins. Except, that is, at their respective homes. Evi’s mother, Lela, who like her daughter, espouses views considered left of liberal in the US context, speaks in support of LGBTQ students at local school board meetings and advocates for fact-based history lessons. Vanessa’s father, Paul Martino, is a right-leaning venture capitalist who likes to brag about installing school board members by spending $500,000 on local campaigns, an effort triggered by what he saw as unjustified school closures in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

‘Sense and Sensibility’ Review: Georgia Oakley Puts a Moody, Naturalistic Spin on the Jane Austen Classic

‘Sense and Sensibility’ Review: Georgia Oakley Puts a Moody, Naturalistic Spin on the Jane Austen Classic

It’s been over 30 years since Ang Lee’s “Sense and Sensibility” became (for this critic, as for many) the Platonic ideal of the Jane Austen adaptation. Lush but controlled, dryly funny (thanks to Emma Thompson’s Oscar-winning script) in that chatty, cheeky, keenly perceptive Austen way, Lee’s classic also boasted a formidable cast to unleash a […]
