Smith rises to the occasion while Bob falls
Writer/Director/Podcaster/Bi-ped Kevin Smith has announced that he will be donating all of his residuals of his Weinstein produced films to WIF. Basically meaning, all of his major cinematic out put.
Personally, I think that this is a good measure and if Smith can help bring more attention to his charitiable organization, but also add to their funding all the better. As the fall out from the Weinstein revelations continue (and this is something that will continue to shake Hollywood for a long time, as well it should) it is good to see that there are some people trying to take ownership of the issue.
Unsurprisingly, allegations against Bob Weinstein have come to light as well. Considering that the pair of brothers worked together so closely throughout their career one would have to be incredibly naive to think that one could have engaged in this behavior and not the other. While the allegations so far are only from one source at this point, I’d expect this to balloon, just as it did for his brother.
