Assistant

Julia Garner ("The Wallflower" and "Ozark") is in talks to star in an untitled film focusing on Harvey Weinstein's assistant. Created by "No Place for Childhood" director Kitty Green and her team, this is a non-reality film that will focus on a day in the life of one of Weinstein's assistants. Green spent nearly a year amassing extensive data on employees who worked in an environment dominated by Weinstein every day. She said that what impressed her most during the investigation was "the repetitiveness and boredom of Weinstein's 30-year management - many young people, especially women, entered his company with the mentality of starting their own careers, and they had to work in that environment every day, which was extremely terrifying."
