Duffy himself has become the poster child for the meteoric rise and fall of Hollywood hot picks, as he was plucked from obscurity by the Weinsteins to write and direct the screenplay he'd written (Boondock Saints). So confident were the Weinsteins that, as a gift, they bought the bar Duffy was working at and gave it to him. That bar would become his base of operations while assembling his film. But when a casting dispute caused Duffy to butt heads with the Weinsteins, Miramax quickly scuttled him and refused to work with him again. Duffy's contract said he had final say over the casting, but the Weinsteins insisted that since their names began with the word Wein and ended with Stein, they could rip up the contract and throw him to the wolves which they did.
