 Harvey Weinstein Sentencing

Harvey Weinstein's sentencing hearing is taking place in New York at this very moment...

►How long will Harvey Weinstein's prison sentence be? His lawyer isn't optimistic. On Feb. 24, a jury of seven men and five women convicted Weinstein on two of five potential counts: a first-degree Criminal Sexual Act charge and third-degree rape. Taken together, Weinstein, 67, faces a minimum of five years and a maximum of 29 years in prison. In an interview with THR's Jeremy Barr, Weinstein's New York-based lawyer, Arthur Aidala, suggested that his team is expecting the worst. "I cannot say I'm optimistic," he said. "I am nervous about it." The story.

+Lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi asked Judge James Burke on Wednesday morning to sentence Harvey Weinstein to "the maximum or near the maximum" years in prison, which could be up to 29 years. She also asked the judge for the sentences to be served consecutively, rather than concurrently. More.

+Also: Harvey Weinstein once suggested that Jennifer Aniston "should be killed," according to previously sealed court documents that were made public Monday night.

►New Dracula movie in the works as Universal remakes its Monsterverse. On the heels of The Invisible Man's No. 1 opening on Feb. 28 and its $98.3 million haul so far, Universal is taking steps to revive its fabled stable of classic monsters for the big screen. But the new batch of films will be stand-alone, moderately budgeted efforts, rather than big swings within an interconnected movie universe.

--The studio is working with filmmakers such as Paul Feig, Elizabeth Banks and John Krasinski, even developing multiple takes on one character, sources say. "They have multiple irons in the fire, but not all will become real," says one agent familiar with the studio's plans. The story.

►The Hunt review: "This exceedingly violent, conspiratorially charged and guiltily engaging action melodrama ultimately pits woman against woman in an almost farcically over-the-top death match, and what it sets out to say about our currently polarized society will be swallowed by some and spit out by others," Todd McCarthy writes. The review.



On the cover: The Power Stylists Issue. Ten years, 94 tastemakers and 34 magazine covers later, it’s been a red carpet revolution. For the 10th edition of the Power Stylists issue, THR removes rankings and celebrates the decade’s most impactful looks, Hollywood’s biggest provocateurs and the changing of the "It girl" guard.

Quote: "With social media, more people are paying attention to the red carpet than ever before. You see the pre-carpet prep and red carpet looks on the celebrities’ Instagrams, the stylists’ accounts and also on the live streams,” says designer Michael Kors, adding that the fashion process itself has altered over the years: "There is more partnership between the designer and the stylist than there used to be. Celebrities today know what works for them, so for the big red carpets, we’re all in constant communication on everything from the color of a dress to the accessories and the jewelry that will best complement the look." 

The power list.

+The new fashion guard: How Zoe Kravitz, Zoey Deutch and more rising "It" girls stand out on the red carpet. In an awards season marked by Hollywood heavyweights, from J.Lo to Renée Zellweger, a surprising number of best-dressed looks came courtesy of a new crop of stars — and their A-list stylists.
