Preminuo je Jerry Weintraub, jedan od najutjecajnijih holivudskih producenata
Producirao je filmove poput 'Karate Kida' i trilogije 'Oceanovih 11'
Jedan od najradišnijih holivudskih producenata, Jerry Weintraub, preminuo je jučer u 77. godini života. Bio je najpoznatiji po tome što je producirao filmove kao što su “Karate Kid”‘ i “Diner”, a radio je i na sva tri nastavka “Oceanovih 11” Stevena Soderbergha.
Svoju producentsku karijeru započeo je tijekom 70-ih godina, radeći na glazbenim dokumentarcima o Franku Sinatri i Johnu Denveru. Prvi igrani film kojeg je producirao bio je “Nashville” Roberta Altmana i “Oh, God” Georgea Burnsa.
Uz to što je radio na sva 4 originalna “Karate Kida”, producirao je i remake ovog filma s Jadenom Smithom u glavnoj ulozi. U posljednje vrijeme radio je na HBO-ovoj seriji “The Brink”.
Weintraub je bio poznat kao radoholičar, o čemu svjedoči i naziv njegove autobiografije “When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead”. Nako objave vijesti o smrti, brojne osobe iz svijeta showbiza su na društvenim mrežama izrazile svoje žaljenje.
Jerry Weintraub is larger than life. He was a giant in Hollywood & his heart was so big it lit up the town. My thoughts are with his family.

Shocked to learn of the passing of Jerry Weintraub. I just saw him last week. This is a great loss to show business, what a legend.
