Somewhere along the line, low-life “financier” David Bergstein and Co. managed an exclusive negotiating window with Disney for the chance to buy the Miramax library. Not so fast, say the WGA, DGA and SAG, all of whom remain creditors in involuntary bankruptcy claims against several of Bergstein’s other properties. Tack on another 600 films’ worth of residuals they may or may not ever receive, and you can see the problem here. Disney says it’s unaware of any opposition expressed or implied, but, you know. Let’s just nudge this back to the Weinsteins and be done with it already. [ NYT ]
