From his jail cell at Rikers Island on Sunday, Harvey Weinstein insisted that the dancing scene in “Down to You” that made Julia Stiles feel “slimy” made 2000 rom-com better.
Weinstein, who produced the film, said that having Stiles’ character dance around a pool table was to “enhance the film’s appeal.”
“I felt so slimy doing it the whole time,” Stiles told Brett Goldstein on his “Films to Be Buried With” podcast last week while discussing her experience making the film. “It was annoying. Because I was like, ‘Well, this is so cheap, and it’s not adding to the story.’”
