US actress Rosanna Arquette says that men have seen "nothing yet" when it comes to the #MeToo movement. 

Arquette was one of the first women to speak out against Harvey Weinstein when news broke of his multiple assaults and abuses of power in November 2017. 

She revealed at the time that she rejected the film producer back in the 1990s, when Weinstein came to door of his hotel room in a bathrobe and tried to make her touch his penis. 

While Weinstein has dominated headlines for the last two years, Arquette told Francesca Rudkin that she knows there are more men like him out there. 

"There's quite a lot more to come out. Not just Harvey Weinstein, many, many other men." 

She says it is challenging in Hollywood as a lot of the men abuse their positions of power, but she has seen a "chain reaction" since those first stories started to get told.

"I get woman contacting me in some way and telling me their stories. It's really been empowering and important for other woman to see that by telling your stories, someone else can tell their story." 

She says that the pressure is on men to change their ways. 

"It's a matter of what kind of man you want to be. It's time to change your ways and educate young boys so they don't treat women with disrespect."

Arquette, part of an acting dynasty that includes her siblings Patricia and David, says she grew up in a protest environment thanks to her mother. 

"Growing up, my mother marched with Martin Luther King, she was part of the anti-war movement. I grew up around the keep in, love in, and everything against the Vietnam War, and we were raised in that." 

She says she is very grateful to have been imbued with that awareness.

However, Arquette says it is quite challenging being an American at the moment with the state of the Government.

"The day after the Kavanaugh hearings, I came out in a case of shingles."

She says that they are working out changing that though. 

Arquette's new movie Holy Lands is in New Zealand cinemas this week.
