TMZ.com is reporting that legendary movie producer Jerry Weintraub has claimed that his "gun-toting assistant" threatened his life. Weintraub is the man behind Las Vegas set Ocean's films starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt among others.

According to Jerry's estranged wife, the employee -- who was fired last month -- has garage door openers, access codes to their homes, "a collection of firearms" and a serious bone to pick.

Legal papers suggest the assistant was fired for stealing $45,000 in cash to fuel a gambling addiction. Days after they fired the guy, Jerry's wife claims they got a 5 AM phone call from the ex-employee's daughter -- who told the Weintraubs that Steven was upset with them and that he was en-route to pick up his CZ-40 gun.

The Weintraubs also claim the daughter warned them Steven "planned to come to our house with his gun."

The Weintraubs reportedly are asking for court protection.
