Harvey Weinstein really wants to get into the Katy Perry business. During a pre-Oscar party at Soho House in Los Angeles, Weinstein was talking to Perry about co-starring in new drama about British opera singer and reality television star, Paul Potts. “I was talking to Katy about a new project, a possible dramatic role in the Paul Potts movie, which will be shooting in England soon,” Weinstein said. “We’d really like someone like Katy or Adele to play the role of Potts’ wife, and Katy seemed genuinely interested.” This isn’t the first time Weinstein has courted Perry for something. Last year, Weinstein said he wanted Perry to play Marilyn Monroe in a stage version of ‘My Week With Marilyn.’ He also used her song, ‘The One That Got Away,’ during marketing for ‘Marilyn.’ Guy really loves ‘Teenage Dream,’ apparently.
