Is the bad boy of cinema, Quentin Tarantino, planning a documentary about the bad boy of movie moguls, Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein?
According to a profile on filmmaker Barry Avrich’s own attempts to document Weinstein in the NY Times, Tarantino is reportedly considering a project that would chronicle Weinstein’s professional life from his work as a “concert promoter in Buffalo, through the heyday of Miramax, which released hits like Pulp Fiction and Shakespeare in Love, and beyond.”

Apparently, Avrich had been working on a no holds barred expose about the notoriously foul mouthed Miramax maniac, but was denied access to certain avenues of information due to a conflict of interest with Tarantino‘s documentary. Now whether or not this is just a defense mechanism by Weinstein to prevent another filmmaker from uncovering dirty secrets that wish to remain buried is not clear, but either way, a Tarantino fueled documentary about the man who made him a legend would be a fascinating personal look at one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic and controversial media moguls.
