Harvey Weinstein: Charlie Sheen Is Playing a 'Losing Game' With CBS (VIDEO)

Uber-producer Harvey Weinstein was on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (weekdays, 9PM ET on CNN), where he praised Charlie Sheen -- who Weinstein worked with on the 'Scary Movie' franchise -- as one of the best actors around "when motivated."But Weinstein wasn't buying into Piers Morgan's theory that Sheen is currently playing a "smart game" with CBS, because, in Morgan's opinion, the network needs the "massive business" that 'Two and a Half Men' brings in.
"I know (CBS president) Les Moonves," Weinstein explained. "Charlie is playing a losing game."
"No one show is going to make a difference to CBS," Weinstein continued. "CBS under Les Moonves makes a billion dollars a year in a business that people say isn't working ... (Moonves) is a dangerous guy to go against."
However, if Sheen does lose his stand-off with CBS, Weinstein might have something for the embattled actor:
"I'd put him in 'Scary Movie' Four, Five, Six, Seven ...," Weinstein said.
So Sheen's got that going for him. Which is nice.
