Anthony Weiner may have to resort to self-publishing. He could alternate between books on politics and his role in Hillary Clinton's humiliating defeat using his real name and books on sexting using his sex offender name, Carlos Danger. (He might want to trademark that name.)
Weiner's been running around New York trying to get book deal. Nobody's interested.
Meanwhile, a guy in Queens is making a $5,000 Anthony Weiner-inspired movie.
The seamy sext-capades of disgraced ex-Congressman and onetime mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner has inspired a Queens indie filmmaker’s black comedy about a legislator with similar lurid cellphone habits.
Vilan Trub needed to look no further than across the street, where Weiner was living when the sexting scandal hit the headlines.
“It was a media circus over here and it definitely stuck in my mind,” Trub, 31, told the Daily News. “There was a funny aspect to the pictures of (Weiner) in the gym, taking selfies, but I decided to turn it into a crime thriller, asking, what if it wasn’t just pictures? What if everything spirals out of control and he doesn’t just screw up his own life, but his actions bring down a lot of people around him, which actually did happen to [Weiner] in reality.”
His “L.A. Confidential" take on the Weiner scandal morphed into “The Dirty Kind," which was filmed in Forest Hills in nine days on a razor-thin $5,000 budget.
...“I’ll never forget that picture of him staring into the mirror with the towel,” Trub said, recalling his inspiration from an infamous Weiner selfie. “How delusional do you have to be at that point to not realize that what you’re doing is embarrassing?”
