Harvey Weinstein Comments on Charlie Hebdo Tragedy: 'This Has Become Good Versus Evil'

As a guest contributor in this week's Variety, Oscar-winning producer Harvey Weinstein shared his thoughts on last week's tragic terror attack on France's satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Weinstein and Tony-winning director Diane Paulus will soon bring the new musical FINDING NEVERLAND to Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 8, 2015.

In his guest column, Weinstein writes: "This has become a fight, good versus evil. This is a time for nations to unite, to share information and realize we live in a world where technology has evened the score and made the bad guys even more dangerous. Now we have to use our technology and share things to make the good guys better, more capable, more efficient."

He continues, "No one's talking about torture or the violation of human rights, but for God's sake we have to sympathize with our Secret Service and the other organizations of men and women protecting our safety daily. We have to know there will be mistakes and casualties along the way, but we the people have to support those who protect us, more than ever."
