Julia Stiles Says Harvey Weinstein ‘Got His Hands’ on Her 2000 Rom-Com and ‘It Became Dumb’; She ‘Felt Slimy’ When Reshoots Made Her Film a Dance Scene


Julia Styles says her 2000 rom-com "Down to You" got destroyed and dumbed down by Harvey Weinstein.

Julia Stiles appeared on Brett Goldstein’s “Films to Be Buried With” podcast and remembered feeling “slimy” when she was forced to perform a dance scene in the 2000 rom-com “Down to You” after Harvey Weinstein took control of the production. It featured a supporting cast that included Selma Blair, Ashton Kutcher, Rosario Dawson, Lucie Arnaz and Henry Winkler. Despite the heavyweight pairing of Stiles and Prinze Jr. for the teen rom-com genre, the movie only earned $24 million at the box office and it was mostly panned by film critics.
