[on working with producer
Harvey Weinstein] Harvey made my film
Das gnadenlose Auge (1992) in 1991. I wondered why he wouldn't let me cast
Natasha Richardson or
Isabelle Huppert. He would only make the film with
Sean Young. She didn't read
Allan Moyle and
Laurie Frank's edgy script until the first day of production and freaked out. It was rewritten every day, and not by me. In the chaos, I had no idea Sean would emerge in the #MeToo movement due to her dealings with Harvey. I saw nothing. My own battles with Harvey led him to brand me as "difficult" and tell me that he would destroy me if I took my name off the film. I ended up in "movie jail" - but that is nothing compared to what Sean must have endured. [Dec. 2017]
