Harvey Weinstein attends the 'Lion' premiere and opening ceremony of the 12th Zurich Film Festival at Kino Corso on September 22, 2016 in Zurich, Switzerland.
On Thursday, The New York Times published a bombshell report alleging that the legendary Hollywood power player had settled with at least eight women over several decades over allegations of sexual harassment.
Weinstein has since been fired from the company he founded, and Hollywood is reeling from the exposé.
The Elvis Presley biopic series being produced by TWC was, Deadline reported, still in its early stages. There were also allegedly potential plans to expand the format to subsequently cover the likes of Michael Jackson and Prince.
TWC is now reportedly talking to other networks that had bid on the show before Apple secured it.
Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
